      Central Services provides services for the University and organizations closely related to the University, including state and national professional and educational organizations with which University faculty and staff are affiliated. Applications for accounts receivable billing can be obtained at the Central Services Office located in Room 010, Morrison Hall. For their convenience, University faculty and staff may take advantage of these services on behalf of community and other service organizations with which University faculty and staff are affiliated; provided, however, that services for such organizations must be on a cash basis and are subject to state sales tax.

Services and products sold to other affiliated corporations, i.e. the WSU Alumni Association and the WSU Union Corporation, and professional organizations are generally taxable regardless of their nonprofit status.
