About The JacksCard
Many parents and students have some initial confusion about the different accounts on a student's JacksCard (university ID card). The JacksCard is a convenient way to manage dining and spending money for your student and offers peace-of-mind that your money is directly supporting your student's education.
There are three types of "accounts" that can be on a JacksCard:
| Account | What's it for? | Meal Plan | Money used for on-campus dining at the Hot Spot or DüB (and other on campus dining as "tranfer meals") as part of a pre-paid academic year dining plan. |
|---|---|
| Dining Dollars | "Flexible" dining money that can be used at all campus restaurants and eateries such as Jamba Juice and Einstein Bagels. Money can be added to this account throughout the semester. |
| JacksDebit Express | Also known as JDE, this account is used to pay for laundry on campus and can be used at on-campus locations including vending machines, the NAU Bookstore, the Post Office, Prochnow (movies), the Business College, Testing Labs, game rooms, Recreation and Aquatic Centers, to purchase parking permits and pay citatings, dining on campus (taxable), and a variety of off-campus merchants in Flagstaff. Like Dining Dollars, money can be added to JDE throughout the year as needed. |
You can deposit money onto your student's JacksCard online through the Guest Deposit feature.
