Transact Frequently Asked Questions

Transact is contracted to provide the e-billing services. Our contract ensures that the processes are compliant with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act.

The Business Office does not provide paper billing statements. All students have access to online services and can print paper copies if needed.

W&L has chosen not to absorb the cost for merchant processing fees. A convenience fee of 2.85% (Domestic) will be billed as a separate transaction by Transact Payments to your credit card. Visa, MasterCard, and Discover cards will be accepted. All International credit card payments will be assessed a fee of 4.25%
