To request a new account or account modification, complete and print the CruzBuy Account Authorization (pdf). CruzBuy Requestors, Budget Approvers, Food & Entertainment Approvers and PI/Other Approvers need to use this form..

Note: The CruzBuy Supplemental Approvals form has been discontinued as of 7/27/12 and should no longer be used. Special CruzBuy approvals such as Food & Entertainment or other approval requests can now be requested on the updated CruzBuy Account Authorization (pdf).

Process for Both New Accounts & Additions of Approval Authority

Account Authorization
Each division and/or unit has one or more management staff with delegated authority to authorize creation or modification of CruzBuy accounts.  This delegation is based on campus roll-up Organization Codes. The CruzBuy Access Authorizer for a division/unit must sign all CruzBuy Access Authorization forms for that division/unit.  In their absence, the Senior Officer for the unit/division may sign.  Click on the link below for a list of CruzBuy Access Authorizers.
