Harvard Purchasing Cards (PCards) are University-liability credit cards issued to authorized, trained individuals to purchase eligible goods and services in support of work done at Harvard. The card is strictly meant for University business expenses; personal purchases are prohibited.
To request a PCard, complete Part 1 of the application form, and submit to Young-ok Shoemake, yshomake@fas.harvard.edu. You may want to discuss with your supervisor/PI what your Spending Limits needs are, and convey that information to the Young, which will be taken into consideration. You will be contacted when the PCard is available for pick up.
Reach out to Young-ok Shoemake (yshoemake@fas.harvard.edu, Tel: x 5-9485) to receive further Departmental training on PCard review and processing.
Important
- Remember your single purchase limit
- Do not have single purchases above the limit charged to the PCard in multiple transactions below the limit to get around the single purchase limit
- Pcard transactions are added to concur as they are incurred, but you can only submit a report once each month on the 14th for the billing cycle
