Arranging for an on-campus department to accept credit card payments involves coordination between the Credit Card Companies, Financial Services, the Campus Data Center, and the State Treasurer's Office in Annapolis. The process takes a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks.

Currently, payments by VISA, MasterCard, and Discover Card, are accepted on campus by the following areas:

•  Bursar's Office for tuition & fees, etc.
• CGIS
• SBDC
•  University Union Ticket Office
•  Fine Arts Box Office
•  SGA Towerlight for advertisements, etc.
•  University Store purchases
•  Housing & Residence Life for room deposits
•  Auxiliary Services Business Office for Point Programs, Parking, etc.

 

For any department considering the development of a credit card program, it is essential to contact Financial Services as early as possible. This preliminary discussion will include:

•  How the process works
•  Fees charged by the credit card companies
•  What equipment is necessary and associated costs
  • dedicated telephone line
  • cash register or terminal & printer
