Credit Cards and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance
All Carleton University departments that accept credit card payments must process those payments in a manner compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). These requirements were developed by the founders of the PCI Security Standards Council which include American Express, Visa International Inc., MasterCard Worldwide and Discover Financial Services.
Compliance with PCI DSS is not an option.
Compliance protects Carleton University from adverse financial consequences and ensures the University’s excellent reputation. Learn more about PCI DSS compliance at Carleton University.
