Protect your identification card! Do not punch holes in it or bend it!

Your card is required for access to Taylor Dining Hall. All resident freshman and sophomores are required to choose either the 19 or 14+ meal plan. The assigned meal plan is the 14+, but students may switch to the 19 meal plan at the beginning of the school year.  The 19 meal plan allows students to utilize 19 meals per week, which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner on Monday through Friday, as well as brunch and dinner on the weekends. The 14+ meal plan allows students to choose any 14 meals that are offered during the week. In addition, the 14+ plan includes $100 of nonrefundable discretionary cash (points) that may be used at Charlie's or to bring a guest to Taylor Dining Hall.

Juniors and seniors living in housing without kitchen facilities can choose from additional options (the 10 Flex and 6+). Students living in apartments or townhouses with kitchen facilities or commuters can purchase any of the meal plans offered. Students living in the Living and Learning Center can choose any one of the meal plans offered. The 10 Flex meal plan allows students to utilize any 10 meals that are offered during the week either at Taylor Dining Hall or at Charlie's. There is a fixed value of $6.50 for lunch and dinner at Charlie's. In addition, there is $60 of nonrefundable discretionary cash (points) that can be used at Charlie's or Taylor. The 6+ meal plan allows students to utilize any 6 meals that are offered during the week at Taylor or Charlie's. In addition, there is $250 of nonrefundable discretionary cash (points) that can be used at Taylor and at Charlie's.

Campus Cash

This account lets students use their Assumption College ID to make purchases all over campus. It can be used to make purchases from Domino's Pizza, Charlie's, the Campus Bookstore and Taylor Dining Hall. Instead of carrying cash and fumbling with loose change, all students need to do is present their ID card. The purchase will be automatically deducted from the student's Campus Cash account. To activate a Campus Cash Account, students simply go to Taylor to deposit money into their accounts via credit card, check, or cash. It is that simple! Campus Cash balances can be checked at any location.

Vending Uses

The ID card has a cash-vending stripe. Value may be added to the vending stripe by using cash at the Debitek machines located in Charlie's Patio entrance, at Department of Public Safety, and at the D'alson Library. The value on the vending stripe should not exceed $25, or the card will not work in the laundry readers. Funds may be transferred from a student's Campus Cash account to the vending stripe at the Debitek machine in Charlie's Patio entrance.

Laundry

The laundry equipment in the residence halls are Maytag energy and water efficient machines that only require 2 tablespoons or 1 Assumption laundry scoop of detergent.  Using more than 2 tablespoons usually results in flooding of the machine and the laundry not being sufficiently rinsed of detergent.

Snack & soft drink machines

Machines all over campus will accept student IDs and permit purchases using the vending stripe.

Plourde Card

The ID card and a second pair of sneakers are needed to use the Plourde Recreation Center.

Lost Cards

If you lose your card, report it to the Department of Public Safety immediately.  There is a $15 replacement fee for lost and damaged cards.  Any value on the vending stripe is lost with the card.  The student's meal plan and Campus Cash can be put on the new card at Taylor Dining Hall.
