Procard Training

ProCard training is mandatory and is provided to end users prior to delivery of the procurement card.  Department heads must be trained before cards can be issued to department personnel.

If you do not have a ProCard but are interested, a training session is a good way to gain a full understanding of procedures. If you have a card, but simply want a refresher, you are welcomed as well. Contact Vicki Gibbs, ProCard Coordinator, by email or phone (4353) to schedule a training date and discuss your training needs.

The latest information is available in the on-line ProCard Manual.
