What approval is required to allow a department to accept credit cards?

Before any campus department/unit/entity may begin the process to accept card payments on behalf of the University, they must first receive appropriate approval.

  1. The approval must be granted by the following: 
    1. Merchant Services,
    2. Your departmental business manager, and 
    3. The Office of OneIT if their resources will be impacted. 
  2. The department’s business representative should work with department staff to complete the Initial Interest Form to Process Payment Cards.

  3. If required, a follow-up form, the Application to Process Credit Cards, will be provided by Merchant Services once the initial form is received and reviewed.

  4. The Application to Process Credit Cards form may be reviewed on the S drive under Campus Merchants > eCommerce Forms > EC-APP.

     The Merchant Training Requirements must be completed in conjunction with all approved requests.
