Procurement Training

Purchasing Training

The Office of Procurement Services offers a multi-section training program on purchasing activities. All of our trainings are designed to ensure that the campus community has the opportunity to gain understanding of the University's procurement processes. The trainings are set up as modules, with the quiz/verification only available after you have viewed the training presentation.

How to Enroll via Canvas

Many of the trainings offered by Procurement Services are housed in Canvas (previously Blackboard) modules that allow self-enrollment. If you have already taken other Procurement Trainings in Canvas, you can simply sign in to Canvas with your MIDAS. If you have never enrolled yet, please follow these instructions to get started in Canvas as a new user.
