Exceptions to the 24-hour rule must be justified by the small amount collected ($200 or less) and by the availability of adequate safekeeping facilities.
The University only accepts MasterCard, VISA and Discover credit cards for departmental charges. Credit card information MUST be safeguarded to ensure compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) Standards.
