MCC Override Request Form

Certain suppliers are listed under Merchant Code Categories (MCCs) that are restricted at the University level. Occasionally, certain transactions that fall under restricted MCCs may be authorized on the TCard. Under certain circumstances, additional approval from Procurement will be required.

Please carefully complete the form below to request an override on a specific purchase that has been declined due to a blocked MCC. All fields are mandatory.
Boston University’s TCard team will respond to requests within 2-3 business days; please plan accordingly.
Requests that violate the Boston University TCard policy, that contain incorrect/incomplete information, or that are made by persons other than the TCard Cardholder Approver will not be approved and may lead to suspension or termination of the card.

I have reviewed and understand the Boston University TCard policy. I understand that overrides for the TCard MCC codes are for unusual circumstances only, that requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and may only be granted provided that a reasonable threshold of information and business needs are met. I understand that policy infractions may result in mandatory additional training, suspension, and/or cancellation of the TCard. (The signer of this form must be the TCard Cardholder's approver as denoted within the Concur system)*
