U Relations has been asked this question from time to time, so I thought I'd try to track down the answer for you. I emailed OIT Security and was told the following: > The first stop for anyone considering or changing methods of > accepting credit cards should be the University Payment Card > Compliance Office. > > Here is their web page with contact info: > > http://www.finsys.umn.edu/ar/pcidss.html > > Once the process has been approved by the University Payment Card > Compliance Office, the University Payment Card Compliance Office > notifies OIT Security if credit card information will be > transmitted, processed, or stored using the University Internet. The policy that is referenced on this website can be found here: http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Cash/BANKING_PROC01.html I realize that this may not be a complete solution, but perhaps the contact person for payment card compliance would have some suggestions - Greg Miller, [log in to unmask] Kathy On Mar 31, 2011, at 8:57 AM, Amber Bailey wrote: > ...sorry for the cross posting to multiple lists... > > Does anyone know if there is a central University service that can > help us sell an item online for an athletic fundraiser...and that > can take online credit card payments?
