1. VSA Pcard Training

2. Program Overview
The P-Card program provides an efficient, cost effective method of purchasing and paying for small dollar transactions. The program is designed to reduce numerous processes including reimbursements, low dollar checks, and small-dollar purchase orders.
All Pcard requests must be approved by Robyn Lin – Chair of Finance.
The P-card allows you to purchase goods and services directly from vendors.
Each card is the property of the College and is to be used ONLY for College purchases as defined in our Policy and Procedures that each one of you signed prior to receiving your card.
The P-card is similar to a standard charge card, except payment is made by the College.
Each card is linked to your Organization. FD800CC409298xxxxxxxxx

Change Spend Category to the appropriate account if needed. This must be done by the 5th business day of the month.(for prior month’s charges)
