Program for Administrative Certification (PAC)
As an administrative employee, you may encounter unfamiliar procedures and questions you may not know the answers to, i.e., Who do you ask? How do you find the answers? Human Resources Learning and Organizational Development offers workshops through the Program for Administrative Certification (PAC) where you will obtain knowledge of various policies and procedures needed to assist you in your position. We strongly encourage you to consider participating in this program.
Admin Forum
In addition to these workshops, there is an administrative support group that offers monthly training and support and a way to communicate with other administrative staff across campus.
The purpose of the group is to communicate to all administrative employees new procedures as they develop, to open up communication for the administrative employees to voice their needs, and for everyone to share their best practices with each other.
Upcoming Admin Forum Sessions
Registration information for all Admin Forum sessions can be found in the Learning and Development Portal events calendar.

Airfare, How to Pay
Payment method:
The preferred method for purchasing airline tickets is to use a University-issued Purchasing Card (P-card).
Other allowable methods include:
- Direct bill to AAA of the Carolinas
- Submit a Travel Reimbursement and Expense Report form
Note: Refer to University Policy 601.8, “Appropriate Use of University Funds” to confirm if this is a permissible use of funds for your area.
Rationale and other considerations:
The cost of commercial airline tickets (coach rate) is allowable when purchased for the purpose of traveling on University business. Because the P-card allows for an improved approval and prepayment process, it is the preferred purchasing method for buying airline tickets.
If the employee is combining business and personal activities in the same trip, only the expense related to the business portion of the trip is allowable. Please refer to the University Travel Manual for additional information.
How to do it:
- Complete a Travel Authorization form and obtain supervisor approval (additional special fund approval may be required, such as Grants & Contracts Administration or Treasury Services).
- Upon approval of the Travel Authorization form, the traveler or their designee may then purchase their airline tickets (coach rate) using a P-card. When using the P-card for travel expenses, follow the guidelines and processes identified in the Travel Manual (link provided below).
