In addition, department travel cards are available to be assigned to an individual in a department who facilitates travel for occasional travelers, students or  non-employees. It is important to note that expense reports will still be required to ensure the travel card expense is accurately paid.

Once issued, the credit card is assigned by Bank of America to the employee yet is issued in the name of and on behalf of the University. Brown University is liable to the Bank of America for all purchases on this corporate Travel Card. Use of the card does not impact the cardholder's personal credit history.
