Cardinal Cash

Cardinal Cash is a pre-paid declining-balance spending account tied to your Fisher ID card. It is accepted at the College Bookstore and most vending machines on campus. It can also be used for printing when (or if) you exhaust your printing allowance for the term. It is designed to help students, faculty, and staff eliminate the need to carry cash on campus. There are no costs involved in using the account.

The use of the Cardinal Cash account is governed by the Cardinal Cash Terms & Conditions [pdf]. By adding value, or using your Cardinal Cash account, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions in this agreement. Please read this document thoroughly.
