guidelines,
which in
general terms
state that the
purchase of
food and
beverage for
sanctioned
University-sponsored
events must be reasonable,
allowable and allocable.

Q: I’m confused
about buying food and
beverages on my
PCard. Can I do this?
A: Maybe, and it
depends. When buying
food and beverages,
whether its through the
PCard or eReq or petty
cash, etc. you must adhere
to the University’s Food
and Beverage Guidelines
(click here).
The purchase of food and
beverage must fall within
the realm of allowability set
forth in the food and
normal business hours,
unless there are guests
other than staff, and the
meeting is for business
purposes.
Before buying food and
beverages, (or anything,
really) ask yourself this
question: does the pur-
chase of these items fall
within the scope of my
department’s mission, and
in doing so, does it also
support and further the
University’s mission?
Please contact us if you
have questions.
From the Mail Box
What is the Foreign Transaction Fee that appears on my statement and is it an authorized charge? Yes, this is an authorized charge. Visa charges 1% of the purchase as a foreign transaction fee if a transaction is processed or made outside the United States. The fee generally appears either above or below the related transaction as a separate line item on the cardholder statement.
