Approval

Approval of your Credit Card for use

Once you have started a credit card survey, and added credit card questions, the next step is to move your survey out of test mode by getting it authorized. This will ensure that the funds collected will reach the proper account.

Authorization of your credit card survey is handled by an individual identified as being responsible for credit cards in your functional area. Email them a link to your survey and a brief note requesting authorization.

Here is list of appropriate people to contact for authorization:

Cooperative Extension County Offices
Nora Rodriguez: njrodriguez@ucdavis.edu and
Lorraine Holm: lholm@ucdavis.edu

Plant Sciences
Heather Kawakami: hekawakami@ucdavis.edu

Statewide Programs
Nikki Humphreys: nrhumphreys@ucdavis.edu

All others
Sherrell Richmond at: srichmond@ucdavis.edu

It is up to you to contact the individual to request authorization. 
They are not notified automatically!

The individual authorizing your survey is looking at the following things:

•  Is this legitimate University business?
•  Is the identified DaFIS account valid?
•  Do you have a valid credit card question and charge?

Prior to your survey being authorized, it will be in 'test mode.'
Everything in the survey will function normally, but payments will not be processed.  This is extremely important, and bears repeating. 
A non-authorized survey will function, but money will not be taken in.
