Hi All,

*Reminder on our Department Credit Card Procedure*

I wanted to send a reminder on the process for requesting use of a department credit card. Please do not stop by and request a credit card. Instead, 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

**Department credit cards can be used for conference registration, possible subscriptions (these should be non-automatically renewing subscriptions) purchasing some items at local stores, possibly purchasing items online if NOT available to purchase via Ariba and/or completing a purchase form, and possibly some other purchasing needs.

**They should NOT be use for travel though. Please refer to the travel email I have sent for proper travel booking procedures.

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
