How do I update information on my P2 Card?
Name information on the P2 Card comes to us from myUTTyler and needs to be updated there. Students should visit https://www.uttyler.edu/registrar/acadinfo/name_changes.php for more information. Once changes are completed, the updates will sync to the P2 Card on your phone within 48 hours.
Why are my account balance(s) not displaying?
- Account balances are currently only displayed on Apple devices.
- If you have available funds that are not displaying, please contact the UT Tyler Office of Student Business Services at 903.566.7180 or email cashiers@uttyler.edu
My balance is different on my device than in Transact eAccounts?
Confirm your device is not in Airplane Mode or experiencing any other service interruption. Updates cannot be made when there is no connecting service to sync data between Transact eAccounts and your device. The Transact eAccounts app will display the most current information.
Why do I have a negative balance on my P2 Card Account?
A negative balance can occur if you make a transaction when a retail device is offline. When the device comes back online and the transaction is posted, you will see a negative balance if there are not enough funds in your account to cover the transaction.
I used my credit card at a participating retail location when I meant to use my P2 Card. What can I do to correct my payment source?
Return to the location of the sale and request the store issue a credit card refund, then process the transaction against your P2 Card.
I am graduating or leaving the university. What happens to my Mobile Student ID?
As with your physical P2 Card, your Mobile P2 Card will become inactive when you no longer meet eligibility requirements. If you transfer to another program or department at UT Tyler, your credential will stay active and update accordingly.
