Cashier will now accept plastic Starting Wednesday the Cashier's Office at SUU will accept pla tic for tuition and other payments. In the past the Cashier' Office ha accepted only cash or checks as payment but now students will have an9ther'Option for reckoning their debts. According to Head Cashier Wes Brinkerhoff, his office will accept Visa and Mastercard only. Brinkerhoff aid that the administration is hoping that this will speed up the enrollment ptoce s and reduce the lines so common with the beginning of each quarter. Brinkerhoff sajd that American Express and Di covery were excluded because they are not accepted elsewh r on campus, and because of the additional expense of adding another credit card service. The credit card program has been in the works for the past three months, said Brinkerhoff. Dorian Page, assistant vice president of finance and controller, aid that SUU is the la t univer ity in the state to make the switch to a credit caTd system. The addition, which is not expected to affect enrollment at all, i a very expensiv service, according to Page. Usage at first i expected to be around 10 percent, po sibly rising to as high a 40 percent in coming years. Fortunately for tudents the estimated $1.5,000 merchant di count fee will not come out of their student fees. "The money is going to come out of our [Controller's OfficeJ discretionary fund," said Page. "Next year we are hoping that the legislature will pay for it." Although each expects to to b a little rocky in the beginning, both Page and Brinkerhoff said that they hope that the new service will make it easier for students to pay their tuitfon and other fees. |
