Visa Purchasing and Corporate Card Programs
Lakehead University's credit card program consists of two types of cards: the purchasing card, for procuring and paying for low value goods and services, and the corporate card, for travel and hospitality services.
For both programs, a card is issued in both the cardholder's name and that of Lakehead University. To receive a card, please contact the Visa Site Coordinator, Dianne Cataldo, in Financial Services at creditcard@lakeheadu.ca or extension 8243, or obtain an application from the forms database or the links below.
