Hi All,

I hope you are enjoying your Summer!

I wanted to send an update on the process for requesting use of a department credit card. I have been fairly lenient when someone does stop by to request a card but I want to set an over all standard process. With this being said, prior to stopping by or possibly calling for a credit card, I will require you to send me an email with the following info below.

• What you are buying
• Where you are buying it from
• Short reason for purchase
• Estimated cost
• Account number that will be use for the purchase (F. #)
• Make sure to copy your advisor on this email

I will send a follow up email confirming receipt approving you to use one of the credit cards. Please make sure to be patient, I will respond but sending something during lunch and/or a meeting might delay the response slightly but I will be keeping up with requests. If I am out of the office (meaning you receive an autoreply stating I am out), then please loop in Lisa Stacey (staceyl@purdue.edu) and Maddi Walsh (mhoverm@purdue.edu) as I would leave instruction with how I would like things handled.

Please know I appreciate all of you! Have a great day!

Thank you
