Purchasing cards are available for departmental use as an alternative to processing purchase requisitions. If your department is interested in acquiring a credit card, please contact the Purchasing Department at 227-2360. You can also view the Commercial Card Agreement on the Purchasing Department website. Once the agreement has been completed, it should be sent to the Controller's Office. The Controller's Office will review the form and contact the applicant to set up a training session on the proper use of the card. Upon completion of training, the application will be sent to the Purchasing Department for processing. After the card is ordered, it will arrive within 7-10 business days. The applicant will be contacted when their card is ready to be picked up.
