About the Program

The purchasing card program provides a MasterCard credit card to faculty and staff to make small dollar purchases. All charges are billed directly to the University. The card is for business use only and has merchant and spending controls.

Faculty and Staff may be eligible for a declining balance card for specific situations (see below: What Type of Card Do I Need?).
