Master Card Program Information

The University MasterCard program is intended to provide departments with real time access and convenience to conduct small dollar purchases.  The MasterCard is delegated to the departmental user as a corporate account for official university purchases.  Individuals are named on the card according to MasterCard policy standards; however the University‘s credit and authority is represented as the legal entity. 

Available on our Documents and Forms page we have available for download a PDF of the policy which details the use, restrictions and obligations for card holder use.

The purchasing card is the preferred method for pre-payment transactions (subscriptions, books, and professional dues), conference registration, airline ticket purchases and business use hotel room charges.  The card may be also used for on-line purchases up to pre-determined card transaction limits and to replace LPO’s when convenient.  Hosting and purchase of meals during business travel is not permitted use for MasterCard.

Please feel free to contact the Purchasing Department with any further questions.
