Abuse Policy

The Procurement Card must never be used to purchase items for personal use or for non-University purposes even if the Cardholder intends to reimburse the University.

Cardholder who makes an unauthorized purchase with a Procurement Card, as defined in Section 11.5 of PCard Policies and Procedures, or uses the Procurement Card in an inappropriate manner, may be subject to disciplinary action including card cancellation and Performance Improvement Counseling up to and including discharge. When appropriate, notification of fraudulent use will be shared with both the campus Police and with the Metropolitan Police Department for possible criminal prosecution. (Refer to HR Policy #14 Performance Improvement Counseling and HR Policy #15 Discharge.) Managers are encouraged to contact the office of Employee Relations at 322-7259 to coordinate appropriate disciplinary actions.
