FAQ

How do I activate and install the multi-factor authentication?

Please set up multi-factor authentication for your Life account. Simply sign in with your Life credentials at the Microsoft Office site found here. Microsoft will prompt you if multi-factor needs further setup. We recommend using the authenticator app as one of the multi-factor methods for the best experience.

I can’t get the eAccounts app to install. It tells me to try again later. How do I get past this?

Please be sure you have set up multi-factor authentication. This is described below in “How do I activate and install the multi-factor authentication.”

I have eAccounts in the wallet on my phone but I can’t get into my room. Who should I ask for help?

Please ask your RA to help you with this. Like many devices, your lock needs a ‘hard reset / reboot’ and your RA can help with this.

When I try to add my Eagle Card to the wallet on my phone, it tell me to try again later. What do I do?

It’s likely that the photo ID in the system doesn’t meet the requirements for the wallet. Please stop by Card Services. They can help take a new picture and get you going.

How do I update information on my Eagle Card?

Name information on the Eagle Card comes to us from the university’s core business systems and needs to be updated there. Students should contact the Registrar’s Office. Faculty and staff should contact their HR representative to request updates. Once changes are completed, the updates will sync to the Eagle 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 your account balances are $0, they will not display until funds are added.
  • If you have available funds that are not displaying, please contact the Eagle Card Office at (770) 426-2638 or CardServices@Life.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 no connecting service syncs 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 Eagle Card?

A negative balance can occur if you make a transaction when a retail device is offline. When the device returns online and the transaction is posted, you will see a negative balance if there are insufficient funds in your account to cover the transaction.

I used my credit card at a participating retail location when I meant to use my Eagle 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 Eagle Card.

I am graduating or leaving the University. What happens to my Eagle Card Mobile ID?

Your Mobile ID will become inactive when you no longer meet eligibility requirements. If you transfer to another participating program or department at Life University, your credential will stay active and update accordingly.
