Dining Plan Balances

On-Campus Students

Students living in the residence halls have access to their UHDS Dining Dollar and OSU Card Cash balances at a click of a button. Simply log in to mycard.oregonstate.edu with your ONID ID and view your balances at any time.

MyCard allows you to manage your Card Cash campus debit account online. You may view your OSU Card Cash; view past Card Cash transactions; add money to your OSU Card Cash account: set up, update and manage OSU Card Cash contributors other than yourself; and deactivate or reactivate your lost OSU ID card.

Adding Card Cash

Students who wish to add money to their card can do so at the OSU ID Center in B094 Kerr or through MyCard at mycard.oregonstate.edu. You will need to be prepared to pay for the requested addition with cash, check, Visa, or MasterCard.

The requested amount of money will be added to a plan called OSU Card Cash. The OSU Card Cash plan can be used in all campus dining locations, as well as for printing and copying at the library. It will carry over from term to term and year to year as long as you are an OSU student.

Meal Plan Changes

Residence hall students may also change their meal plan at any time during the term by completing a Meal Plan Change Request form available at any UHDS Service Center. This is a modification to your contract and the difference will be billed to your student account. If you do have a hardship situation, please contact the UHDS central office at 737.4771 to make an appointment with one of our staff. UHDS Dining Plan dollars carry over until the end of Spring Term at which point all account balances are closed. There are no refunds on end-of-the-year meal plan balances.

Off-Campus Students

If you are an off-campus student and want to add money to your ID card, you need to do so at the OSU ID Center in B094 Kerr or online at mycard.oregonstate.edu. You will need to be prepared to pay for the requested addition with cash, check, Visa, or MasterCard. Additions can not be billed to your OSU Account. The ID Center will place the amount requested on your card in a plan called "OSU CARD CASH". The OSU Card Cash plan can be used in all campus dining locations, as well as for printing and copying at the library. No discounts are given with this plan. It will carry over from term to term and year to year as long as you are an OSU student.
