The Purchasing Card is provided to employees of WPI based on their need to purchase business

goods and services and have read and understand the University’s business expense policy and

may revoke my card privileges. If I do not reimburse the University within 14 days, my card
privileges will be revoked.

in Works, I am responsible for submitting an expense report for my travel to the Accounts Payable

of the trip including seminar fees, hotel, air, food, parking, tolls, etc. The expense report must be
completed even if no payment is due to me and I understand my card privileges may be revoked by
the P-Card Administrator should I fail to complete.

Prior to foreign travel, you must call the phone number on the back of the card. This is for fraud

card at any time for reasons that may be considered in WPI’s best interest.
