Campus Cash is the easiest way to make purchases at UB because it's accepted by the best places on campus and many businesses off campus, too. Purchases made with Campus Cash are taxable. You can even use Campus Cash to buy Dining Points – and using Dining Points will save you money on your meal purchases because you don't have to pay tax.
There’s only one way to spend your Campus Cash – by using your official University ID, the UB Card.
Campus Cash is separate from the Dining Points portion of your meal plan. The amount you spend is deducted from your balance and your remaining balance is displayed at the register after your purchase, so you always know how much Campus Cash you have left. It's easy. It's convenient. And there's no credit card risk!
