The Working Fund serves as an expeditious payment system for campus disbursements, such as membership dues, subscriptions, student emergency loans, employee payroll advances, etc.
It is not an alternative to the payment of invoices through Accounts Payable. Invoices on purchase orders cannot be paid through anything other than Accounts Payable.
The Procurement card should be used for transactions that accept credit card payments. There are a number of working fund transactions that can be paid with the campus procurement card (VISA). If you are uncertain regarding the transaction, please contact the vendor.
Hours: 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
