Notes on prepayment

• Prepayment of your residence account usually ensures your meal plan money is loaded onto your card prior to your arrival.
• Prepaid residence students can have their ID cards prepared in advance to make residence check0in even more efficient.
• If you’re paying at check-in you may experience a delay in getting funds uploaded to your student account due to the volume of transactions experienced at any time.  Be prepared for a delay by bringing along some cash to use in the main dining room.
