Obtaining a PCard

Step 1:  Participating Department Check with your Fiscal Office to see if your department is participating in the PCard Program. You cannot obtain a PCard until your Department agrees to participate. In addition, your Fiscal Officer must be trained before anyone in your Department may receive a card.  Note: Only University of Hawai`i employees are eligible to participate in the UH PCard Program. Step 2:  Cardholders are Selected & Limits are Determined Your Approving Official (Vice President, Dean, Director, Chancellor or Provost) has the authority to select cardholders in your Department and determine their purchasing limits. You must obtain approval and limits from your Approving Official.
