Using Your P-Card at LU
Buy what you need when you need it for your department with the Liberty University Purchasing Card (P-Card). A P-Card is a Truist VISA corporate credit card. It’s easy to use, and it replaces the requisition process for most purchases under $2,500. A Liberty University Purchasing Card (P-Card) is intended for small point-of-sale purchases and travel/professional development expenses.

Tips from the P-Card Office:
- Please keep in mind that when using University funds, gratuity/tips is limited to no more than 20%. This will include anytime a tip or gratuity is warranted, and if more is paid, the employee will be responsible for the difference.
- Receipts need to contain name of the establishment/vendor, date, location, each item purchased, subtotal, and total. Please keep in mind that a receipt that only shows the total, or a photo of a gas tank are not acceptable as receipts. Please also be mindful when scanning these to attach in Infor to make sure they are legible and not blurry or folded.
- LU tax exempt number for Walmart: 1939163. You must tell the Cashier Prior to your purchase.
