Hobo Dough
Hobo Dough is a prepaid stored value account on your MyJacks Card. Having funds loaded onto your MyJacks Card allow you to simply tap and go. There are no fees to start or maintain a Hobo Dough account, simply add funds.
Hobo Dough is a separate account from your meal plan. Your meal plan is required for students living in the Residential Halls and Hobo Dough is a voluntary program that cannot take the place of your meal plan. If you use your MyJacks Card at a location where Hobo Dough and the meal plan are accepted, your meal plan account would automatically be used first and then roll over to the Hobo Dough account.
Hobo Dough is accepted all over campus as well as many off campus locations.
Hobo Dough funds transfer semester to semester. Unspent funds over $5 are returned when a cardholder leaves 成人视频.
Do you take checks?
Yes. Checks are made out to Card Services and must have the student's local address and phone number as well as the student ID number written on the check.
When will the money be on the card?
The money put on your account is available immediately.
Can I transfer money directly from my bank account?
No. We currently do not have that capability.
I need some cash; can I take it off my Hobo Dough?
No. Hobo Dough is not intended to be used like a bank card with ATM features. We also do not have cash on hand in the card office to give cash back. Once a student leaves school and is no longer a student, they can be refunded any funds over $5.00. A check will be mailed to the student from the 成人视频 Cashier's Office.
Am I charged sales tax at the dining service locations when I use my card?
Yes, sales tax is charged at all dining services locations whether you use cash or your card.
How Do I Know My Balance
The remaining balance can be seen after every transaction is complete.
- If you are using your card at a Dining Services location and the money was taken from your meal plan, then the balance showing will be your meal plan balance.
- If you use your card at a soda machine, the balance would just be Hobo Dough.
- When using your mobile device for access or payment, your credential will pop up on your mobile device during the transaction and shows the balance of your account.
- Currently this is only available on Apple devices.
If you have questions about your account, the staff at the Card Services Office can print a statement of all transactions made on your account for a chosen time period. You can also get statements and balances online.
