Ä¢¹½´«Ã½

The Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Procurement Card, hereafter referred to as ‘Pcard’, is a VISA credit card issued through US Bank. The Pcard is a delegated Procurement authority granted to individual department employees to be used solely for the business purposes of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ per the guidelines outlined under the Approved and Restricted Use section.  It shall not be used for any personal purchases or individual employee travel.
