Credit Application

When a department or school is making a purchase from a vendor or supplier, the vendor may ask for NU to complete a Credit or Direct Billing Application. In this occasion, please send the request in writing to procurement@northwestern.edu and include:

Note: Please do not sign the vendor applications as you may not have signature authority and this may be asking you to agree to terms the University does not agree with.

Procurement and Payment Services will send the Credit Application directly to the vendor at your request. Once the Credit Application has been sent to the vendor, we will respond to your e-mail request to confirm.
