• Do not allow unauthorized users to use your PCard.

• Always sign the back of the card.

• Retain receipts from the vendor.

• Remember to get the card back from the vendor.

• Be sure you can see your card at all times when it is being used for a transaction.

• Purchase from secure online resources. The website should be secure, indicated by https://.

EXTENDED LEAVE

If the cardholder will be off-campus during the summer months or for an extended period of time, notify the Administrator of the absence. The card should be turned into the Administrator.
