How to Enroll and Obtain a Purchasing Card

1. If your department is currently enrolled in the program, see your Site Manager. To initiate program enrollment for your department, review the Site Manager and Cardholder Guides on the Web and contact your Dean's Office for approval. After obtaining approval, contact the Purchasing Card Program Manager at 265-9800 to establish your departmental hierarchy.
   
2. Download the Cardholder Agreement and Cardholder Account Set Up Forms from the Accounting Services WebPages. Complete the forms, obtain the proper signatures and forward the documents to the Purchasing Card Program Manager.
   
3. Sign up for Cardholder training here. New site managers and new cardholders should both plan to attend a training session. Your Purchasing Card will be handed out at the training session. If you have just initiated program enrollment, allow 3 weeks for the processing of your departmental hierarchy before scheduling training. Allow 7 working days for the processing of your Cardholder Forms if your department is already established.
   
4. New site managers will be given a Logon ID and password for the PVS Net web-based system. The logon information will include instructions on how to access the system. Training sessions on the use of PVS Net are available here.
