New Departmental Barnes & Noble Purchase Policy

To facilitate easier transaction coding and to improve financial controls, the controller’s office has asked Barnes & Noble to discontinue having open departmental accounts at the University bookstore, according to Eric Barger, controller. Department purchases should instead be made with a University-issued P-card. The business purpose of purchases should be documented in the P-card reconciliation.  Barnes & Noble will still provide the usual faculty/staff discounts on qualifying purchases.
