Mission Statement
Welcome to the Mississippi Valley State University Procurement Card Program. This program has been designed to allow for the direct procurement of non-travel small dollar related purchases by the end-user through the use of a credit card. Our intent is to eliminate the need for low value Limited Purchase Orders and Payment Requests. The Procurement Card (PCard), an institutional credit card, is billed directly to, and paid by Mississippi Valley State University. Ownership or usage of this card does not affect your personal credit.
