Instructions
Departments should print off a paper copy of the log to keep with their credit card reader. The individual in charge of using the credit card reader goes through the list of checks included on the form. Upon completion of the checks, they will sign their initials and the date that the check was performed. This review only needs to be completed on the days that the credit card reader device is used, and only needs to be done once each day. Send a copy of the fully completed log to Business Services at businessservices@uwlax.edu. A new log can be started after the old log has been submitted.
Any evidence of tampering should be reported to Business Services immediately by calling 608-785-8554.
