Cardinal Cash vs. Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars are a balance of funds directly associated with the dining plan and thus are only redeemable at on-campus dining venues. Cardinal Cash is personal funds placed on your Cardinal Card which may be used at all locations which accept the Cardinal Card as payment, both on and off campus.

Meal plans of the past did not distinguish between these two accounts and thus the meal plan dollars were available for use as Cardinal Cash. This is no longer true due to the revision of the University dining plans.

For example: You can use Dining Dollars in the Food Court, the Loft Convenience Store and the new Leahy Hall Coffee Kiosk, the new Pangborn Cyber Café and at Starbucks at the Pryz which will open following the 2006 Christmas break. You cannot use Dining Dollars at the University Book Store, Library or to pay student account bills. But you can use Cardinal Cash at all those locations as well as at selected locations off campus.
