ProCard
In addition to following the Purchasing Office's ProCard guidelines, you must submit a UGS Accounting and Purchasing Processing Form with the ProCard information to the UGS Business Affairs office no later than three business days after receipt of goods. Please attach the original itemized receipts.
In order to safeguard your card, the university requires the use of a ProCard log. An original of this log should be turned into the UGS Business Affairs office at the beginning of every month showing the previous month's ProCard transactions.
ProCard Purchases Exceeding $500
Please contact the UGS Business Affairs Office if you plan to make a ProCard purchase that exceeds $500 to make sure the vendor is in good tax standing with the state of Texas. The results of the inquiry should be documented on your ProCard log.
Disputing a Transaction
A cardholder may dispute a charge that is not recognized or that appears to be incorrect. The cardholder should first make a good-faith effort to settle a claim or dispute for purchases directly with the vendor. If an agreement cannot be reached with the vendor, contact Citibank at 1-800-248-4553.
Disputes must be sent to Citibank within 45 days of the billing close date. The closing date for the previous billing cycle is always on the 3rd of the next month.
Disallowed Purchases
You are not allowed to purchase some items using a ProCard, including office supplies, gasoline, food, flowers, personal items, consulting services, entertainment, and certain forms of printing and advertising.Please visit the Purchasing website for the full list of items that are disallowed using a ProCard.
