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:

• Auxiliary Services Business Office for Point Programs, Parking, etc.
• Auxiliary Services Ticket Office
• Bursar's Office for tuition & fees, etc.
• CGIS
• Center for Arts Box Office
• Center for Professional Studies
• Copies Plus
• Event & Conference Services
• Housing & Residence Life for room deposits
• SGA
• Stadium Store
• Towson Center Recreation Mngt
•  University Store
•  University Union

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
