Update to WVU Research Corp PCard Training Process

To receive a PCard, all applicants are required to take online training and then cardholders are required to complete “refresher training” every 2 years to avoid having their PCards cancelled. In the past, the WVU Research Corp PCard training and the WVU PCard training were two separate processes. WVU PCard Administration is happy to announce that all cardholders will now work through the same training process. Rather than completing training through a separate eCampus course, WVU Research Corp cardholders will now take their PCard training through the WV State Auditor’s Office training portal. The training is a WVU/WVURC specific training pdf and quiz.
