UMW Finance Card
The UMW Finance Cards are credit cards that can be used by members of the UMW community to pay for certain items that are not allowed on the SPCC. Some cards have individual names; other cards have department names. The UMW Finance Card is separate and distinct from the Commonwealth SPCC card and has been branded as the UMW Finance Card with a “UMW Finance” logo to prevent any confusion with the SPCC.
UMW has to obtain an annual exception from the Department of Accounts (DOA) in order to have the availability of UMW Finance Cards. The exception granted from DOA to have UMW Finance Cards is very specific; therefore, this web site will attempt to clearly guide the UMW community through the process of using these Cards, including the circumstances surrounding the allowed use.
The UMW Finance Card is paid directly by UMW and may be used to pay for the following items:
Business Meals
To use the UMW Finance Card to pay for a Business Meal, read the Business Meal regulations where you will find detailed instructions.
Travel-related expenses when traveling with a student
To use the UMW Finance card to pay for travel-related expenses, you must read the guidelines for Travel with Students and follow the regulations on the type of travel involved (i.e., Team Travel, Study Abroad, Professor taking a student to a conference, etc.)
