Purchasing Card Program
Updated January 19, 2006
UWSP faculty and staff, including LTEs, are now able to purchase many of the items that they need to do their work more efficiently with a credit card. A Purchasing Card (P-card) is a controlled credit card that is intended for best-judgment (under $5,000) purchases.
It is a tool to manage purchasing and accounting resources by concentrating low-dollar purchases in a less paper-intensive process. Use of the P-card results in a UWSP liability, not a personal liability. Therefore it is authorized for official state use only, not for personal charges. All documents related to the P-card may be fully disclosed as a public record to the extend provided for by the Open Records Law.
All purchases with the card must comply with the guidelines in the UWSP Cardholder Manual and with extramural funding agency restrictions. You must check for Ineligible Vendors prior to making any purchase.
