CAMPUS CARD ACCOUNT HIGHLIGHTS
Employee Account

GENERAL FACTS:

The Campus Card Account may be used for food and beverage purchases at all Washington University Dining Services locations serving Danforth Campus, North Campus, and West Campus, as well as for select vending and printing services on the Danforth Campus and laundry services on the South 40.
The Campus Card Account has two features: Declining Balance and Charge.
You may elect to activate either or both of these features.
The default amount for each feature is set at $0.00. This can only be adjusted by the card holder.
Purchases of food and beverage as well as select vending and printing services are made with "POINTS" (1 POINT = $1.00).
All transactions may be reviewed through your HRMS account.
Those who purchase food and beverage from WU Dining Services, using their Campus Card Account, are not subject to sales tax; a savings of approximately 7%.
Through the HRMS website, you may Add Points, Set/Change a Personal Spending Limit, or Suspend/Reactivate your Campus Card Account.

USING THE DECLINING BALANCE FEATURE

Points are purchased and held on account to be used at the time of purchase.
Purchased points do not expire. Points are non-refundable and non-transferable.
You may add points by payroll deduction through the HRMS website
Points are immediately placed on account for use. Your payroll deduction will be posted at the end of the pay period.
When a Declining Balance is depleted, purchases may be made with cash. (Cash purchases are subject to sales tax.)

USING THE CHARGE FEATURE

A Personal Spending Limit is established by the employee.
The Personal Spending Limit is a self-determined limit on spending for each pay period.
When a Charge feature has been activated, points are tallied against your Personal Spending Limit.
Each pay period, charged purchases are totaled and billed through payroll deduction.
No charges can be incurred beyond your Personal Spending Limit. Purchases may be made with cash. (Cash purchases are subject to sales tax.)
Personal Spending Limits' are reset each pay period.
Personal Spending Limits may only be adjusted by the employee. Changes may take place with the next pay period.

HRMS

USING BOTH DECLINING BALANCE AND CHARGE FEATURE

When a purchase is made, points are deducted first from the available Declining Balance
If no points are available from the Declining Balance, points are tallied against the available Personal Spending Limit.
When no points are available in the Declining Balance, and if the Personal Spending Limit has been reached for that pay period, the remaining purchase must be made with cash. (Cash purchases are subject to sales tax.)
