The Declining Balance Account (DBA) is a debit card system implemented to expedite on-campus purchases. This service can be used at all Dining Services locations, the Health Center, FAS Mail Center, bookstore operations and library copiers. This service is available to students, faculty and staff.

The DBA is available to all students with or without a meal plan.

The information for the DBA is encoded on the College ID. No other card is needed. A 10 percent discount is given when the DBA is used at any Dining Services location. The DBA may also be used to purchase Flexboard points. Balances may be checked at all dining locations or in the ID Office. Students may also access their DBA balances on the Gateway.

Balances may be checked at all dining locations or in the ID Office.

MasterCard, Visa or Discover cards may be used to open or add to the DBA. The DBA built into any Flexboard plan is not transferable from one semester to the next. Any funds added to the DBA can be carried throughout your college career or refunded at the end of any semester.

Money cannot be withdrawn and no refunds will be made until the end of each semester.
