This new process allows faculty and staff who no longer have access to a procurement card to work directly with a centralized team to purchase goods and services on their behalf. All requests must be submitted within the business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Our team will respond to requests within two hours during business hours. Requests for same-day purchases must be submitted by 3:00 p.m.
The P-Card Purchasing Shared Service offers several benefits, including:
- Dedicated, knowledgeable team
- Swift response time
- No monthly reconciliation required
- No creation of an expense report required
- Business continuity
The process is designed to be quick and straightforward for requesters. To request a purchase:
- Complete the P-Card Purchasing Shared Service Form [pdf]
- Email your request to pcardpurch@sc.edu.
- Participate in a Microsoft Teams call to complete the purchase.

The Program Expense Card is a credit card used for educational programs (eg. Study Abroad, Summer Programs, etc.) and participant incentive payments. The cardholder must be a USC employee. The Program Expense Card cannot be used for individual travel or any purchase subject to procurement. Please email questions to cards@mailbox.sc.edu.
The Team Card is used to make purchases for athletic team related expenses (e.g. hotel, transportation, meals, etc.). Please email questions to teamcard@mailbox.sc.edu.
The Travel Card is used to reduce the monetary burden to the traveler and provides the ability to book airline tickets (for employees, students, and non-employees) and registration (for employees and students). The program offers two types of cards:

- Department Travel Card: Airfare (for employees, students, and non-employees) and pay registration (for employees and students).
