Requesting a Card Reader

Do you have a meeting or event and want to track attendance?  Are you taking payments for T-shirt sales or other items and would like to accept Lancer CA$H? If your answer is yes, then you should check-out a card reader from the Lancer Card & Campus Services Office.

There are just a few simple guidelines to follow:

Instructions

2. Market the event- Please make sure you let your attendees know to bring their ID cards to your event.

4. Reporting- Include in your request if you would prefer a PDF report or an Excel report.
