Transact System Overview
The Transact system (formerly Blackboard Transact) allows Student Life & Engagement locations to accept MSU ID Cards for authorized access to events or for payment in business operations. Students have the convenience of using one card for many things – from Dining Plans, to Spartan Cash purchases in vending machines, Transact makes it possible. Swipe a card in a reader, get a lightning fast response!
The system holds card information, customer information and details of any accounts or plans assigned to a cardholder. Currently, SLE uses Transact along with QuadPoint (formerly Sequoia) Cloud Point of Sale to run register or reader devices and reports. These two systems partner together to offer convenience to staff and customers.

Troubleshooting Login Issues
- Make sure you are connected through the campus Virtual Private Network (VPN).
- Find and launch the Transact app (must be installed on an SLE computer).
- Use the server address detailed in the user guide.
