7.3  Violations and Consequences

7.3.1 The P-Card must NEVER be used to purchase items for personal use or for non-University purposes even if the Cardholder intends to reimburse the University.

7.3.2 A Cardholder who makes an unauthorized purchase with a P-Card, as defined in Section 7, or uses the P-Card in an inappropriate manner may be subject to disciplinary action including card cancellation and possible termination of employment. A Cardholder may also be liable for the total dollar amount of such unauthorized purchases plus any administrative fees charged by the bank in connection with the misuse. When appropriate, notification of fraudulent use will be shared with both the Campus Police and with the Chicago Police Department for possible criminal prosecution.  Approving Officials are encouraged to contact the P-Card Administrator to report misuse and coordinate appropriate disciplinary actions.
