New Online Travel and Purchasing Card System Coming September 1

The Controller’s Office is pleased to announce the debut of our new online Travel and Purchasing Card system from Chrome River coming September 1, 2020. Chrome River is an online expense management solution that will manage all Travel and Purchasing Card Transactions and replace all paper Travel Settlement Forms and P-Card Packets. Travelers and purchasing card holders will be able to electronically manage their receipts and transactions using a computer or a mobile device.

The new system features an electronic approval system. Approvers, including BCMs and supervisors, will have the choice of approving right from their email or logging into the system. Emails will contain most of the information, including links to all receipts, that will allow them to review and approve reports without logging into the system.

With the debut of this new system, the Purchasing Card manual has been updated. It is recommended that all cardholders review the manual as well as the small dollar guidelines.

Note that the first Purchasing Card packets (now Expense Reports) for transactions made between August 26 and September 31 must be submitted by October 15.

We have submitted an update to the Travel Policy and Procedure, and it is currently going through the policy review process. Note that all college-supported travel has been suspended. Exceptions must be approved by the Vice President. VP approval has been built into Chrome River. However, prior to entering a travel request (pre-approval), departments should discuss the travel with their Vice President.

Training materials, including recorded training and documentation will be available on the Purchasing and AP websites soon.

Recognizing SLCC's 2025 Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering

The Distinguished Faculty Lecturer is a recognition of quality work by one of Salt Lake Community College’s full-time faculty and a charge to develop that work over an academic year into a public presentation. A committee chosen by the Associate Provost for Learning Advancement selects the faculty lecturer each year. The lecture takes place in the spring. Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering Dr. Andrew Vogt’s teaching philosophy is guided by two principles, curiosity and efficiency. “Curiosity leads us to study a topic and allows us to really understand the ins and outs of research, while efficiency is all about sustainability,” he says. Andrew describes curiosity as a pure, open-minded impulse to explore, such as the ease with which children learn new concepts with virtually no instruction. Efficiency adds maturity to that childlike impulse, creating structures and pathways for accomplishment. Andrew’s work has alwa...
