Purchasing Card (PCard) Program

The PCard is used solely for the procurement of goods and services that are required to conduct York University business, and is a convenient and efficient method of acquiring low value goods and services directly from vendors, thereby expediting vendor payment.

Inappropriate use of the PCard is treated very seriously as cardholders are expected to act with strict prudence and professionalism with respect to its use. Misuse could result in the immediate and irrevocable forfeiture of the PCard and/or disciplinary action.

Participants of the PCard Program have predefined roles and responsibilities that they agree to when they apply for a York University Purchasing Card.
