Procedures for Use: Departmental Purchasing Card

The Purchasing Department, in coordination with a selected financial institution will issue the Purchasing Card. This method of purchasing is used to allow departments the flexibility of acquiring goods and services on an "as needed" basis (not to exceed $1000 per purchase), rather than process a Purchase Requisition. A Northern Michigan University Department Purchasing Card Application Form must be completed and returned to The Purchasing Department with appropriate authorization before the card will be ordered. The cardholder must pick up and sign for the card in person at the Purchasing Department.

The purchasing card dollar limit will be $1000 per transaction. The monthly purchasing limit will be based on departmental need. The maximum monthly purchasing limit will be $2,500 unless special approval has been obtained from the Purchasing Department. It is the using departments responsibility to ensure that sufficient funds are available to cover all charges. The billing address for the purchasing card will be the using department's name,
