Purchasing Cards may only be used for official, state-related business. Purchases must follow appropriate state laws, CSU policy, Central policy and guidelines and must be made with reasonable judgment. If there is a question about the official purpose of a purchase or if the use of the Purchasing Card to make a purchase is questionable, contact the Purchasing Manager for clarification prior to making the purchase. Exemptions or questions regarding restricted purchases may be granted on a case-by-case basis upon the approval of PurchasingCard@ccsu.edu
