Use of the La Carte P-Card
Use of the La Carte Purchasing Card may be used
wherever Visa is accepted, following University
Purchasing policy and procedures. This convenient
purchasing tool may be used directly at a storefront
or for orders via the phone, fax, or online.
Suggested uses include operating supplies, lab
equipment, computer equipment, conference
registration fees, professional memberships and
dues. The Purchasing Card is to be used for LSUHSC
business only, not for personal use. All
transactions made using La Carte must benefit and
support the University's mission of education,
research, and public service. Fraudulent or
intentional misuse of the card will result in
cancellation of the card and/or possible criminal
charges.

Unusual items (any items appearing inconsistent with a

*If using a third-party credit card vendor (example
PayPal) is the only viable payment option for an
on-line purchase, pre-authorization from either
Danielle Burlison, Rob Parker, or Judith Anderson
will have to be obtained. This can be done via
e-mail explaining in detail the nature of your
intended purchase. Please keep in mind that
utilizing services like Pay-Pal are highly
discouraged and pre-authorization is required on all
transactions of this type.

**You should always ask a vendor if they are a 1099
reportable before the transaction is placed. If they are, the
item can not be purchased on your p-card. A 1099 reportable
vendor can be identified by the following:
- If the companys name is a persons name
- If the word service is in the vendors name
- If the companys name does not include Corp, Inc. or PC
