• Sharing of Purchasing Cards is a violation of university and state policy and is prohibited. Cardholders are encouraged to use their cards to make departmental purchases for other members of their department where appropriate.
• As with the current purchasing regulations, “splitting” purchases to exceed the single purchase limit is prohibited. An example of splitting an order is when an item costs more then the single limit on the card and the cardholder makes two or more purchases to buy them. There will be a 45-day suspension of the state issued procurement card privileges imposed for any cardholder who splits credit card orders.
• State policy requires cardholders who have been inactive for six months to justify to PCPA why they still need a card, and cards that are inactive for a year will be canceled.
• Personnel who routinely make departmental purchases should have their own Purchasing Card if approved by the department.
