P-Card Training

P-Card training is mandatory for cardholders 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. P-Card training is delivered by the Procurement Card Coordinator, Kyley King.

In addition, P-Card refresher training is mandatory and must be completed every 2 years.  Refresher training can be completed on-line.

Oracle training is also available for cardholders that will be reconciling their own entries or for individuals that will be reconciling for another cardholder.

If you do not have a P-Card 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 welcome to attend training as well.
