How Do I Buy...

Conference Services/Hospitality

Procurement Agent(s):
Liz Lunaburg

Description:

The T&H Card should be used for purchase of supplies and meals for interviewees/speakers, meeting expenses, visitor's lodging, department coordinated student events and other hospitality expenditures related to the mission of the University.

The Purchasing Card (P-Card) should be used for conference registrations. As many registrations for conferences are completed well in advance of the accompanying travel, it's easier to process a P-Card transaction for the registration in lieue of an expense report. If the P-Card is declined for some reason, a Travel and Hospitality (T&H) Card may be used.

To apply for a P-Card or T&H Card, please visit the How to Get a Card page on the Procurement Services website.
