status. All purchases must comply with current State and
College travel guidelines.

MasterCard a revolving credit card?

What
happens if I do not pay my bill in full upon receipt of the

delinquent you will receive a memo from the Comptroller
requesting that you make payment in full immediately. If your
account is not paid in full within 60 days then the Department
of Accounts in Richmond will automatically suspend your card.
