Q: What is the difference between Hawk$$ and Dining dollars?

A: Dining dollars- are funds that can be used only in food service locations on campus. All Dining Dollars are free of sales tax and are not refundable. Remaining balances from Fall can be used in Spring if you have a new Spring meal plan but all balances must be used by the last day of the Spring semester.
Hawk$$-are funds deposited to your ID card that can be used for anything from books at the Campus Bookstore to meals at dining service locations and at several local businesses. Your Hawk Dollars account is separate from the meal plan, and since Hawk Dollar sales are subject to the 8% NYS sales tax, any unused money (greater than $5) can be refunded to you at the end of the semester at your request. The minimum to open up a Hawk Dollar account is $25. Stop by the Campus Card office (PDH) to sign up or simply add here online with MC or Visa.
