Purchasing Card

To ensure that Purchasing Card expenditures are posted to the current FY 2002, all purchases utilizing the cards should be made by August 15, 2002.

Items purchased after this date may be charged to the next fiscal year (2003) due to vendors not submitting the charges in a timely manner to Bank of America. Any charges posted by Bank of America after August 31, 2002 will be charged to next year's funds, even though items were purchased prior to August 31, 2002.

If you have any questions, please contact the Purchasing Office ext. 6553.
