Campus Spending Account

All About CSA

CSA can be used at any campus store or dining facility on campus. These funds are great for textbooks and supplies from the Campus Store.

Your account information is loaded onto your Campus ID card, then a quick swipe through a cash register pays for purchases.

Your CSA can also be used to purchase items like:

  • Anything from the Campus Store
  • Food from any on-campus dining location
  • Vending machine items
  • Copies from ACES copy machines located in CDH and the Library
  • Food, meals, gasoline, and other items from participating Campus Partners.

Cool Things to Know About CSA

  • Like Dining Dollars, the CSA works like a debit card.
  • Each semester, $550 for CSA is recommended on the tuition bill to cover things like books, food, vending purchases, and entertainment.
  • The amount can be increased in $50 increments or completely deleted from your bill.
  • Unused CSA balances are rolled into the next semester until the end of the academic year.
  • If you have an account balance of more than $20 and as long as you do not owe the College money, unused CSA funds will be reimbursed at the end of the spring semester.
  • Fall semester CSA amounts will be active on Aug. 16, 2011. Campus Partner purchasing power is also available on this date. After the activation date, you cannot get a refund on the amount until the end of the spring semester. If you have money left over at the end of the fall semester, that money is still available to you for the spring semester.
