If you do not have a Brown P-Card, the transaction(s) can be completed by a designated P-Card holder in your department or, if it makes sense for you to obtain your own P-Card for this and future transactions, you can request/apply for one. Please check Brown’s P-Card Policy for information on the procedure to request a P-Card.
