Card and Print Services supports the university community by providing identification, access and printing solutions across campus. The office issues the JMU access card (JACard), the official identification card for all students, faculty and staff. The JACard provides access to residence halls, campus facilities, meal plan access, Dining Dollars and FLEX declining balance accounts, which are administered in partnership with Dining Services and the University Business Office. Dining Dollars allow students to eat at on-campus dining locations and are exempt from sales tax. FLEX accounts may be used for purchases and services across campus, including the bookstore, copy machines, computer labs, library fees, parking, mail services, UREC, UPB movies, the University Health Center, the Forbes Center, all dining facilities and on-campus vending machines. In addition, the office supports a Mobile ID app available on Apple and Android devices, which offers access to many of the same campus services as a convenient supplement to the physical card.
Card and Print Services also operates two campus print locations that provide a full range of photocopying and digital printing services. These services include academic coursepack production, copyright permissions, full-color and black-and-white digital printing, binding, laminating, wide-format posters and other print-related products. Both locations offer computer labs where students, faculty, staff and community members can work on projects and access production equipment to complete their printing needs.

We know that dining is an integral part of campus life. Each day is an opportunity to serve delicious food, host great events and provide an overall memorable dining experience. Convinced that nutritious food is essential to a healthy lifestyle and strong academics, we build our menus with health in mind and make eating a well-balanced meal easy.
Meal Plan Basics
Explore our meal plan options, available to residents and commuters, at our website or visit us at our D-Hall 1st floor office. Students living on campus are required to purchase a meal plan, and all plans include Meal Punches and Dining Dollars. Not sure which meal plan to choose? Consider personal eating habits, class schedule and leisure activities each semester before choosing a meal plan that fits. Meal plan "punches" are not active during university breaks.
Dining at a Glance
Meals or Meal Punches are included with a meal plan and reload daily or weekly. Use them at our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, D-Hall and E-Hall, or for a "Duke Deal" meal exchange available at select retail locations. Visit our website for complete details.
Dining Dollars can be used at all on-campus locations, including dining halls, retail brands, concessions and vending machines. Any unused Dining Dollars will only roll over from fall to spring, not year to year. Need to add more funds to your meal plan? No problem, add Dining Dollars GOLD anytime through the University Business Office (UBO). JMU Flex and credit/debit card payments are also accepted.
Dining Dollars Gold can be added at any time through UBO. Why go for the gold? You don't need to be on a meal plan to purchase them and any unused Dining Dollars Gold will roll over each semester as long as you're a student at JMU.
Whether you choose Dining Dollars or Dining Dollars Gold, enjoy these benefits:
- They're tax-free, so guaranteed savings over cash, credit, or Flex Dollars
- More spending power than meal "punches"
- They can be used for guest purchases

Sustainability
