Procurement & Contract Services

Chico State ProCard Program

The Procurement Credit Card Program ("ProCard") has been implemented to provide a simplified method for campus departments to procure low dollar and low volume supplies, equipment, goods, and limited services. ProCards are issued in the name of the individual (“Cardholder”) whose purchases are reviewed/approved by a higher authority within the department (“Approving Official”).

Chico State’s ProCard program is held with U. S. Bank and purchases made with the ProCard are billed to the University rather than the individual. The ProCard can only be used for University funded transactions; therefore, Auxiliary purchases cannot be made with the University ProCard.

  • I Need a Procard, Where Do I Start?
    If you need a Procard, you will need to start by filling out a ProCard Request/Update Form through Onbase. Once that application goes through the appropriate approvals, both Cardholder and Approving Official will be assigned a training and your card will be ordered.
  • What Training Am I Required To Do?

    As a Cardholder, you must complete the Chico State Procard Training for Cardholders.

    This training is assigned to all new Cardholders and their Approving Officials and is available through CSULearn.

    Approving Officials of, and Cardholders with a monthly limit of $25,000 or more (or as otherwise required by their position), must file Form 700 and complete the Conflict of Interest Training.

  • What Do I Do if My Card Gets Declined?
    Please reach out to your department assigned Procurement Specialist. They will be able to see what the issue is and assist you.
