    Jerry:

    We have a FTE of approx 1500 students and stopped taking credit card
    payments for tuition, room and board charges about two years ago. Instead
    we offer "Tuition Direct" (800-762-8370) through Academic Management
    Services where the student pays the "Variable Teleprocessing Fee".
