Making Credit Card Payments
Concept
The Campus Finance component of Student Self-Service enables students to access their student
bill information and manage their charges and payments. This topic covers how students can
make credit card payments via Student Self-Service.
Background Information
The credit card industry has established standard common processes and precautions for
handling, processing, storing and transmitting credit card data. These standards subject the
University of Maine System (UMS) to annual compliance reviews and potential fines in the event
of a security breach. TouchNet is a company that serves higher education institutions by handling
all online credit card numbers. This includes card numbers used to pay application fees,
enrollment deposits and student bills. TouchNet provides UMS with a credit card payment
solution that eliminates the storage of credit card numbers by UMS, either electronically or in
hard copy form.
