How to Use the Accounts on Your Fairleigh 1Card
The Fairleigh 1Card enables students to access three separate accounts: 1Card Cash, Meal Plan and Flex Dollars. Each account must be funded prior to use and has unique rules for acceptance and the roll over of funds. (See the summary chart below.)
1Card Cash: 1Card Cash is a prepaid spending account offering a safe and convenient way to make purchases on and around campus - including locations that don't accept other cards. It is designed to eliminate the need to carry cash around campus. On campus, 1Card Cash is accepted as a form of payment at bookstores, copy centers, select vending machines, and at all campus eateries . 1Card Cash supplements the Meal Plan and Flex Dollars for residential students at campus eateries. For non-residential students, 1Card Cash is a convenient way to pay for meals and snacks at campus eateries. 1Card Cash is also accepted at popular businesses around both campuses. You or your parents must make a deposit to 1Card Cash prior to using it for purchases. Value in 1Card Cash rolls over from semester-to-semester and year-to-year for as long as you are a member of the Fairleigh Dickinson University community.
Meal Plan: The meal plan is a nutritionally balanced dining program available to those who wish to take advantage of a guaranteed number of meals per week. The meal plan is required for all residential students and is only accepted at the Dining Hall on each campus. Payment is made at the beginning of each semester along with tuition and other fees. The weekly meal period begins on Saturday and ends on Friday. Meals must be used each week and do not carry over from week to week.
Flex Dollars: Flex Dollars are similar to cash value available on meal plans. Flex Dollars are only accepted at on campus eateries. All residential meal plans have some Flex Dollars included. Flex Dollars roll over from Fall to Spring semester but not to the next academic year.
