Obtaining a P-Card

Eligibility

Procurement Cards (P-Cards) are issued only to full-time employees. Exceptions for non-full-time employees require approval from the Director of the Office of Procurement Services.

Obtaining a P-Card

The following steps are required to obtain a P-Card:

  1. Complete the Application
    The cardholder must complete and submit the Procurement Card Application Dynamic Form.

    During the application process, the cardholder will need to identify their Department Procurement Card Coordinator and Budgetary Authority. By default, the P-Card Approver is the cardholder's one-above supervisor.

  2. Attend Required Training
    First-time applicants will receive the required P-Card training materials via email. After reviewing the materials, the applicant must reply to the email confirming that the training has been completed. Employees who transfer to a different department on campus are not required to complete the training again.

  3. Pick Up the P-Card
    All new P-Cards are delivered to the Office of Procurement Services. Once the required documentation has been received and the training has been completed, the cardholder will be notified when the P-Card is available for pickup.

    Cardholders must present a valid photo ID when picking up their P-Card, such as a driver's license or Missouri State University BearPass ID.
