Purchasing Card

Employees who travel on University business are encouraged to charge airline tickets, car rentals, gas for rental cars, lodging, and registration fees to the University Purchasing Card. An employee may charge University-related travel expenses to the purchasing card when making travel arrangements.

The cardholder is responsible for all charges made to the purchasing card and also for obtaining a receipt of purchases. When using the card to make travel arrangements online, you should print the summary page before submitting the order, print the confirmation email showing the itemized purchase, or contact the company to request a receipt, if necessary.

In the event that the purchasing card is not accepted or the vendor merchant codes are blocked by the University to prevent specific goods/services from being charged, contact the Purchasing Department for assistance.

Cash Advances

A cash advance may be requested for expenses incurred during University travel. Cash advances should not be used for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to travel. These expenses should be charged to a University Purchasing Card or claimed on a Concur Travel &/or Business Meal Expense Report.

Unused cash advances should be paid back to the University via theNon-Student Payment Portal. Choose the “Travel Repayment” selection and enter all required information (i.e. index, travel start date, and travel destination). The receipt or confirmation email from the payment portal will be needed for upload to Concur to clear the cash advance. For questions regarding repayment of cash advances, please call Accounts Payable-Travel at 487-2373.
