A hosting form must be attached to the monthly procurement card reconciliation and all hosting provisions adhered to in terms of meeting agenda, timing and business/university purpose.
Procurement cards may not be used for hosting as follows:
- When hosting individuals or groups off-campus payment must be made with personal funds and then submitted for reimbursement with all required documentation and hosting forms. For larger events direct payment to the vendor is the preferred method of payment.
