At DeVry, we are committed to providing our students with an excellent education. We accomplish that mission in part by having vendors that provide high quality goods and services. The goal of DeVry’s Supply Management Organization is to offer total value through our vendor relationships to the DeVry family of institutions and, through these institutions, to our students. Total value combines timely deliveries, superior service, competitive pricing and innovative ideas.

On this section of the DeVry website are the policies, terms and practices required for all vendors. Companies interested in becoming a vendor to DeVry and its family of institutions will find an application to complete for our consideration. The Supply Management Policy and Third Party Associate Code of Conduct must be read and adhered to by DeVry and its vendors. They reflect DeVry’s commitment to the highest ethical standards. The Terms and Conditions allow for building solid relationships with our vendors.
