Tier 2 Software - Medium Risk
Software that falls under Tier 2 in the Approved Software List is allowable for purchase or download, directly with PCard (up to the single transaction purchase limit) if the specific university use case is met (enterprise-wide).
The specific limitations of the Tier 2 software are outlined in the Approved Software List. PCards can be used when purchasing Tier 2 software that is below the cardholder’s single transaction purchase limit if the user type and use case are met. The transaction eDoc is required to have the following note: "This software is on the Approved Software List version #. User type and use case match Tier 2."
Sample software | User type | Use case |
---|---|---|
Software 1 | Researcher of human studies | Non-clinical research* |
*Clinical research would be considered Tier 3 in this instance.
A Tier 2 software list will be provided at a later date.
Tier 3 Software - High Risk
All other software is considered to be Tier 3 software and requires the submission of an IT Readiness form via a purchase requisition, even if it is free software.
