Purchasing Cards
Page Content
Our Card Programs offer the university a way of doing business by providing Visa credit cards to end users in the departments. The cards provide an easy, familiar purchase method that will greatly improve customer service by reducing order time for small dollar purchases (under $5,000 per transaction) for both commodities and services.
The program helps to lower the overall administrative costs for processing small dollar purchases from order through payment. For every purchase that is made using the card, the processing time and effort the department, Purchasing, and Office of the Controller put forth individually to pay for that order is reduced.
When purchases are made on the Procurement Card or Equipment Card the cardholder is required to upload itemized receipts (and other support documents as needed) and assign account/budget strings to the transaction in SOARFIN. Go to . You will then log in with your w+emplid and campus ID password.
