Updates to the PUR 1.40 Form “Application for Certification as Independent Contractor”

 

Improvements have been made to the PUR1.40 Form and the updated version, dated 03/20/2025, is now posted on Purchasing’s “Forms” webpage.

You do not need to have current vendors “recertify” because the form has been updated. As their old forms expire, remember to send the new version for the future engagements.

 

If you have saved the form to your computer or have it linked or incorporated into documents, please make sure you are using the updated form.

As UNCW transitions to the new UNCW Card this summer, current Travel Card holders will continue to use their existing cards until they return to campus following their summer travel. At that time, they would turn in their older p/t-card, and follow procedures to receive and begin using their new UNCW Card.

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, current card holders may continue to make purchases through June 30th using their PCard and Travel Cards.

Note: FY25 funding will be used for card holder transactions reconciled and approved through the year end cutoff date of Friday, June 13th. FY26 funding will be used for card holder transactions reconciled and approved after this date.

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…
