News
In the last several years, banks and credit card providers have seen a significant increase in potential fraudulent activity on credit cards. The Brandeis P-Card is a credit card through Wells Fargo.
In accordance with best practice, Brandeis has partnered with Wells Fargo to enable Fraud Alert notifications that will be sent out via email to the cardholder in order to ensure legitimacy of various P-Card transactions.
Whenever unusual activity is identified on your P-Card account, Wells Fargo will automatically send you an email alert asking you to verify the transaction as legitimate, or report it as fraud.
Please review our Guide on Fraud Alerts for any questions on concerns.

Brandeis University has partnered with Ricoh to deliver new multi-function printing devices. These machines facilitate the need to print, copy, scan, and fax. These devices utilize the latest in technology software called Papercut.
The benefits to the University are:
- Sustainability: Brandeis community members have emphasized the need for environmental sustainability. Through the use of this technology, Brandeis will help to stop unclaimed printing resulting in less paper consumption.
- Security: Secure printing across campus enables data security.
- Technology: Ability to print from mobile or web.
Visit the ITS website for more information about printing.
If there is a hardware issue with your printer or you need to order toner for your printer, call the phone number listed on the Ricoh Printer sticker. You will also need the ID number on the sticker to complete your service call.
