As we welcome students to a new semester, Purchasing Services would like to provide a refresher on Pcard procedure, and advise of some recent updates.
We transitioned from the USBank Pcard to the Scotiabank Pcard in January, at that time the appropriate restrictions were not implemented on the Scotiabank VISA. We recently implemented the appropriate blocks according to the Purchasing policy.
As a reminder, Pcard holders are restricted from the following purchases under the procedure.
Alternate methods of payment are to create either an LVPO or and HVPO, pay and claim through the expense reimbursement process, or request a cash advance, further information for travel expenses can be found
here and for payments and reimbursements
here .
In very limited circumstances, we may grant certain exceptions for individuals. To request an exemption please email
