(New) Oracle Guided Learning (OGL) Successfully Launched!
We're thrilled by the positive response we received on our welcome tutorial and walk-through guides. Your input is invaluable to us as we continue to refine and enhance our offerings. In response to your helpful feedback, we’ve made a significant adjustment by disabling autoloaded guides. This aims to ensure a smooth user experience, and we are committed to reevaluating the autoload feature and conditional settings to prevent any potential issues before reintroducing it.
Keep the feedback coming – it’s what drives us to deliver excellence in guided learning. Our goal is to ensure a seamless and user-centric experience every step of the way.
Join us this Wednesday, February 28, at 10:00 AM via Zoom for an exclusive Office Hour session dedicated to sharing best practices and Q&A related to Oracle Guided Learning. Thank you for your ongoing support and collaboration!

Federal Grant Micropurchase Threshold Increase
Integrated Procure-to-Pay Solutions (IPPS) is pleased to announce that, effective January 1, 2024, the Federal Grant micropurchase threshold has increased from $10,000 to $50,000. This adjustment aims to alleviate some administrative commitment and streamline processes for departments across the University. Under this new threshold, while buyers will continue to review orders of $10,000 and above for general compliance requirements, Sole Source and Price Reasonableness documentation will not be required for orders funded by Federal grants until the order amount reaches $50,000.
We believe this adjustment will significantly benefit departments, allowing them to allocate their time and resources more efficiently. In our estimation, this change will save departments approximately an hour of processing time on each Federal grant order under $50,000.
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the IPPS Strategic Procurement team via Services & Support.
