Obtaining a P-Card

University employees interested in obtaining a procurement card must work with their respective Department Procurement Card Coordinator and their Budgetary Authority in order to get a P-Card.

The following steps are involved in obtaining a P-Card:

• Documentation: Departments will need to send over a completed and signed Procurement Card Application Form to the Procurement Card Coordinator. The forms can be emailed to isaacbalasundaram@missouristate.edu.
• Training: First time applicants will be invited to attend a mandatory training session. If an individual moves to a different department on campus, they will not be required to attend the training session again.
• P-Card pickup: All new P-Cards are sent to the Office of Procurement Services. If the training has been completed and the documentation received, cardholders will be notified as to when they can come by and pick up their P-Cards. A cardholder is required to bring identification when they come by to pick up their P-Card (e.g., Driver’s license or Missouri State University BearPass ID).

Note: P-Cards are only issued to full-time employees. Exceptions for non-full-time employees to have P-Cards will need to be approved by the Director, Office of Procurement Services.
