March 28, 2008 — Holders of University of Virginia purchasing cards and their supervisors and/or reviewers of cardholder documentation are required to complete annual online purchasing card ("P-Card") training, to ensure they are aware of current policies and procedures governing the use of the cards.

Once you have completed the training, you will receive instructions to complete a P-Card test. You must complete the test with 100 percent accuracy; then print the results, and retain them for three years plus the current fiscal year as proof of completion in case of an audit.

Instruction for accessing the training can be found on Procurement Services Web site at www.procurement.virginia.edu/main/departments/Training.html#PurchasingCard
