Overview

---

This article demonstrates how to submit a Concur request to apply for a Procurement Card. Please note, only a cardholder is eligible to submit a new card Request in Concur. Additionally, a new card request should never route to a Department Administrator (DA) for approval. This request will be routed to your Financial Unit approver before reaching the Procurement Card team for final review and approval.

Prerequisites

• Before applying for a Procurement Card, please review the Procurement Card Blink Pages for what restrictions and regulations apply to the card.
• Complete the University Procurement Card Program training and save the completion certificate before starting this Request.
• Sign and complete the Procurement Card Cardholder Agreement, with all fields and signatures filled out.
