03/04/2008 University Plaza Hotel is in the process of being sold by OSU which means by the end of the month they will no longer be accepting 100w forms.

As with any other hotel you will need to 1. pay for the hotel charges personally and submit for reimbursement on your Travel Order Number. or 2. set up a Purchase Order with the chosen hotel vendor (either one time or blanket).

Don't forget the Purchasing Card can not be kept over night so it usually isn't the best tool for hotel stays.
