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.

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs. The CPL department at SLCC was created in 2020 and since then the volume of students served has grown as the department continues to expand. To be eligible for CPL, students must be working towards a degree, certificate, or apprenticeship. Director of Credit for Prior Learning at SLCC, Andrea Tipton, mentioned fee...
