Overview
There are several accounts to keep track of for dining and printing purposes, they are primarily,
- CSA (Campus Spending Account) - Can be used at the campus store, anywhere you would use dining dollars, or even some off campus locations that advertise as accepting CSA
- Dining Dollars - Money that can only be spent on food on campus, amount is dependent on meal plan
- Meal Plan (Meal Deals) - Used for purchasing meals, only accepted at on campus dining locations, amount is dependent on meal plan
- Printing Funds - Funds for using the Pharos printing system on campus, provided every semester, amount is dependent on major (NOTE: This account can be viewed with your other ACES accounts, but is entirely handled by Technology Services, if you are having an issue with Printing funds contact the Help Desk at their number below)
