Information Technology Services (I.T.S.) is pleased to announce that, starting with the Fall 2007 semester, we will be providing the below listed services for free for two years to all graduates at the time of their graduation. At the end of the two years, I.T.S. will notify each graduate via their University provided email account 30 days prior to their services being terminated/deleted and offer the option of continuing the service for $5 per year. If you choose to not continue the account after the two year period has expired, all of the below listed services will be removed/deleted permanently.

Collecting credit card information on your site? Beware! October 1, 2007
Posted by admin in : General News, IT Security Tips , add a commentThe Payment Card Industry (PCI) will begin enforcing compliance with their data security standard (DSS) on October 1st. What this enforcement means to the University of Michigan-Flint community is that university sites need to be extra careful about how they collect credit card data from customers. Failure to comply with the PCI DSS can lead to fines as well having your merchant account revoked (i.e you will no longer be able to process credit cards). You can find out more about the PCI DSS at https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/.
Any department or university affiliated organization that has not already migrated their forms to a secure location should contact the campus webmaster, Tim Todd, immediately if they are collecting credit card data on a website. Tim can assist as necessary to make sure your organization is meeting the PCI DSS.
