Auxiliary Enterprises maintains a philosophy to be sensitive to its customers' needs by offering quality products and services at competitive prices. The size of the Auxiliary Enterprise departments and their ability to operate is in direct proportion to the acceptance and usage of its products and services. This requires a constant commitment to quality and excellence on the part of every employee in every department.
Auxiliary Enterprises supports the University community through Dining Services, Materials Handling; which includes mail services, shipping and receiving, print and copy services, DocuZip and surplus property. Other services include Parking and Transportation Services, and campus card services.
Operating as self-supporting departments with a marketing orientation, the units offer these services at competitive rates to all UA departments and to students to minimize their expenses and enhance recruitment and retention. These units also generate revenue to allow for enhanced development and operation of other initiatives that support the University’s research, academic and service functions.
