CONTRACT DEFINITIONS Aux Points: Aux Points can be added to the USF OneCard to be used for retail purchases such as the Campus Shoppe, vending machines, copying machines, printing, and for food and snack items in the University's designated dining areas.

Bookstore Points: Bookstore Points must be authorized and entered on a student's USF OneCard by the Business Office. Bookstore Points can only be used in the Campus Shoppe to purchase books, medical supplies, scrubs, polos, lab coats, and other educational supplies.
