On April 7 from 10 a.m. to 2  p.m., FSI will be onsite at the Madeline Suite for you to drop by as your schedule permits and learn more about their company and products offered, register for door prizes, and pick up some samples along the way. FSI is the State Contract vendor for North Carolina and is mandatory for university purchases. FSI also has a line of furniture available on State Contract to purchase.  FSI will have their furniture exhibit truck in the parking lot for you to see what they have to offer.

 

There will also be snacks provided if you like to partake while visiting the exhibits. This will be a great opportunity for you to meet the FSI team, ask questions and engage with them on any challenges you may have that they may be able to offer recommendations.

 

We look forward to seeing you on Monday, April 7th.

Coming Soon – Summer 2025

The UNCW Card will be the new University Credit Card for Purchasing and Travel. Yes, a single card will take the place of the PCard and Travel Card. There will be three cardholder profiles to choose from, 1) Travel Only, 2) Purchasing Only, or 3) Combination of both Travel and Purchasing functions.

With the merging of the two card programs into a single program, there will be a blackout period May 1 – June 30 that cards related to the existing PCard and Travel Card programs will no longer be issued. However, existing card holders will be able to make purchases through the year end cutoff date of June 12th to use FY25 funding. Transactions after this date will not post in Banner until July.

For future purchases on the UNCW Card, where the cardholder previously reconciled transactions in WORKS, with the new UNCW Card, reconciliations will take place in Emburse Enterprise (Chrome River).

There will be a new training program that all cardholders, department delegates, and approvers/supervisors will have to take prior to the cardholder receiving the new UNCW Card. This new training will be available in person and online, and you will also have access to the new UNCW Card Guidebook.

We are projecting early July for the rollout of the new UNCW Card, a single card that based on your selected profile, may provide all you need for business travel and business purchases in place of the former two card system.

Stay tuned, more information to come…
