The University Credit Card Program is designed to allow for a fast and flexible alternative to processing routine and unexpected purchases and services. The program offers authorized Cardholders the use of a Procurement Card to purchase certain items and services for official business use and the Travel Card to use while traveling on official University business.

The Office of Institutional Compliance conducts routine reviews on Cardholders’ expenditures to ensure that Texas Southern University employees comply with the State of Texas and the University’s rules, regulations, policies and/or procedures concerning credit card use and purchasing practices. The results are shared with the Cardholders’ respective Dean and/or Senior Vice President as well as the Vice President of Risk Management & Assurance Services, the Director of Business Process Management, and the Director of Purchasing.    

The individual Cardholder is responsible for managing and reconciling the account. The Cardholder should keep all supporting documentation for all procurement card purchases for four (4) years.
