LACARTE AGREEMENT AS701
Cardholder participation in the LaCarte program is a convenience and a privilege. Although the card is issued in the
cardholder’s name, it is University property and must be used with good judgment and in accordance with all University
procurement requirements.
1. The LaCarte procurement card (“p-card”) is provided to employees based on the need to purchase business-
related goods and services. The card may be revoked at any time based on change of assignment or location. The
card is neither an entitlement nor reflective of title or position. The card may not be used for purchases to be paid
by private sources, including those that must be paid directly by the LSU Foundation.
2. The card should be used for business related purchases only - personal charges are expressly prohibited.
3. The Cardholder is responsible for all charges made against the card.

action - up to and including termination.

training and referenced in PM-78, “University LaCarte Program Policy”.
Also, I understand that the LaCarte procurement card provides me with an alternate means of payment for goods

and University Procurement Rules & Regulations, PM-13, “University Travel Regulations” and PM-78, “University
LaCarte Card Program Policy” must be followed. I understand that any purchases made outside of these guidelines
will be considered personal items. I authorize payroll deduction for any items purchased that are not in
compliance with State and University Procurement Rules & Regulations and/or University Travel Regulations.
