Guidelines

The Corporate Card is the appropriate card to use for charging travel expenses related to College business and low dollar (under $4,999) retail type items. The Corporate Card should not be used for personal use. Fraudulent or misuse of the Corporate Card may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. The cardholder must sign the JPMorganChase Cardholder Application which specifies that they have read all guidelines, assume protection of the card and will follow the proper policies and procedures. The approver must sign the JPMorganChase Cardholder Application which specifies that they have read all guidelines.

Individuals must settle their expenses in Oracle iExpense module within 120 days or their card will be suspended until the transactions are settled.
If you have questions about the Corporate Travel Card's business expense policies, iExpense training or anything relating to the reconciliation of your travel purchases please contact your Finance Center.

If your card is declining please contact Roxanne Zola at: (603) 646-2435 or email the Procurement Office during business hours of 8:00 am – 4:00 pm Monday-Friday. Any credit card issues outside of these specified times would need to be addressed to JPMorganChase directly at: (800) 270-7760.
