1: How do I get a Purchasing Card?
Answer: See your Departmental P-Card Administrator. The application must be done in PeopleSoft. If you are not aware of who this is, please ask the Responsible Budget Administrator.
2: What do I do if the card does not work or is denied?
Answer: If the card doesn’t work or if the card is denied, first check on US Bank's Access-on-Line to find the reason for the decline. Instructions for this can be found under the P-card Access-on-Line workshop for Cardholders on the Procurement website. If you do not have access to the web, check with your Departmental P-card Administrator. The contact can review the Budget Detail in the Commitment Control module of PeopleSoft. If you can not resolve the issue with the Departmental P-Card Administrator, please contact pcard@bc.edu.
