The University provides a procurement card program for business-related purchases when the good or service is not available in U Market, or when a charge cannot be paid by Purchase Order or check. The PCard is a U.S. Bank Visa credit card issued only to authorized University employees.
The ECE Depot sells electronics parts and other items for course, research, and extracurricular projects; offers consulting for troubleshooting and building electronic components; and builds and hands out lab kits for university courses.
