Orders, Deliveries & Transfers

Animal Care Services (ACS) provides animal ordering, delivery, transfer, import, export, and supply-ordering services.

All animal orders and transfers require a valid approved protocol and need to adhere to UBC ACC Policies and Guidelines on the Procurement and Transport of Animals.

All orders are charged via Workday and require pre-approval authorization. Submit a signed Internal Sales Delivery Form (pre-approval form) for each Primary/Driver Worktag (grant account) you wish to have set up for billing purposes with ACS, and for any changes in authorized users of the Worktag. Statements are emailed monthly.
