Applying for a Procurement Card (P-Card)

1. Request an application for an NDSU Procurement Card from the P-Card Administrator.
2. Complete the application and obtain the appropriate signature approvals from your Department Director and Department Administrator.
3. Send the application back to the P-Card Administrator.
4. In approximately 7-10 days, you will receive the card.
5. You, the card holder, will then need to call and activate the card prior to making any purchases.

The use of the Procurement Card results in a liability to NDSU; not a personal liability for the cardholder.  The cardholder's credit rating will not be affected.  However, it is important to remember that the cardholder signs an agreement (the application) prior to receiving the Procurement Card and, as such, is responsible for any misuse of the Procurement Card as outlined in the manual.
