Purchasing Programs
Procurement Card Program
The Procurement Card Program supplements the purchasing process by enabling users to purchase low dollar value items with a University-sponsored credit card. The card, which is tied to a departmental budget account, has various features that allow for cost-effective transactions to be made. You may apply for a card by completing a procurement card application in the Electronic Forms section of this website.
After applying for a procurement card, you must attend a training session to familiarize yourself with card usage policies and procedures. You will also be required to complete a Cardholder Agreement at this session. The Procurement Card Manual and Users Guide is available for your review in Purchasing.

Interior Furnishings
The University has implemented a standard for design of all spaces which must be maintained by the Manager of Design Services. This includes all furniture, carpet and window treatment. Some standard furnishings can be found by visiting the Purchasing website, however, the Procard may not be used for any interior furnishings. To order product, please use the information on the website to complete a Purchase Requisition and forward to Purchasing. Choices can be made to fit budgetary restrictions by upgrading or downgrading finishes and sizes. For further assistance with your project, you may contact the Manager of Design Services.
