small dollar items (i.e., less than $5,000). These include purchasing
cards, limited purchase orders (LPO), limited purchase checks
(LPC) and Check requests. Campus Orders may be used for on-

University's policies governing Small, Minority, and Woman-owned
Businesses (See University Policy & Procedures 3-100:IV.D.4).

Specific Purchase Processes:
Payment Request – Use the on-line form when reimbursement
is due an individual or vendor or when paying for services
rendered or goods received. Hints for filling out a payment request.
Purchase Cards (FAQs) – The University offers a MasterCard
for procuring small-dollar items that would normally be
purchased using other paper-based methods. Each user has an
amount limit for a single purchase and a monthly amount limit.
Check FAQs for what can be purchased. All cardholders and
reallocators must obtain training prior to using the card.
In many cases the card can be used in lieu of a Limited
Purchase Order (LPO), Limited Purchase Check (LPC), and
some Campus Orders. Purchasing Card Application can be
found here. If you use multiple activities you must take
Purchasing Card Reallocator training.
Campus Orders (Hints for filling out a campus order) – to obtain
the hard copy forms (currently not available on-line) call
Accounts Payable at 581-6976. The forms can be picked up at
145 Park Building or mailed to you. Services may be requested
from campus service agencies by submitting a Campus Order
directly to the appropriate agency. Campus Orders may not be
used for transactions under $1.00.

Limited Purchase Checks - The Limited Purchase Check may
be used by the department for small purchases up to the limit
printed on the face of the check (less than $1,000). These
checks are prepared by the ordering department and are
delivered (or mailed) to the vendor without preparing a
requisition or obtaining approval of the Purchasing
Department. For additional information see the User's Guide. Hints for using a Limited Purchase Check
Limited Purchase Orders (Hints for filling out the Limited
Purchase Order) - to obtain the hard copy forms complete a
limited purchase order agreement (the forms function like a
purchase agreement) and take the form to Accounts Payable in
145 Park Building. Request only the number of LPO forms
you will use in a six month period. You will give this form to a
vendor or client who will then submit an invoice with the LPO
number directly to accounts payable for payment. Any
questions, call Accounts Payable at 581-6976.
NOTE: Purchases for more than $1,000 use a Limited Purchase
Order or a Check request. Purchases exceeding $5,000 (including
