ProCard
The Procurement Card (Pro-Card or P-Card) has been implemented to provide an easy and expeditious method for campus departments to make purchases. P-Cards are issued in the name of the individual (Cardholder) whose purchases are reviewed and authorized by their Approving Official.
For more information please refer to the ProCard Handbook.
