New PCard Release Delayed

During the August Business Forum, it was announced that we were anticipating the release of new purchasing cards (PCards) in mid/late October. Given the announcement of the Phase II plans and a large number of faculty and staff working continuing to work remotely to decrease density at our locations, the PCard issuance has been delayed until spring 2021. The current pcard provider, JP Morgan Chase, has extended the current agreement with the University until June 30, 2021.  

If your current PCard expires during fiscal year 2021, the PCard Administrator will contact you when your new card arrives. As announced previously, if you need your new PCard (because you use it on a regular basis), you can arrange a date and time to pick up the card. Cards are distributed by appointment only.

When the new PCards are distributed in the spring from the new PCard provider, cardholders will be required to sign a new cardholder agreement and complete mandatory training before they pick up their new PCard in the spring. More details related to training materials and card distribution will be forthcoming in future newsletters and at future Business Forums.
