Use one card all around campus!

This office issues the MyJacks Card, which is the official identification and access card for students, faculty and staff. The card is also used for Hobo Dough.

Hobo Dough

Hobo Dough is a prepaid, stored-value account that is part of your MyJacks Card — the convenient, cashless way to pay for your purchases on and off campus. Some of the area's most popular local businesses accept Hobo Dough.

Hobo Dough can be used on:

Bookstore (textbooks and school supplies)
Photocopying and network printing
Dining and vending
Laundry
Student Health
Many on- and off-campus locations

Remember

Keep in mind that your MyJacks Card does not work like an ATM/debit card, which means once you add money, you can't withdraw it as cash. Hobo Dough balances roll over each term/year, and the card remains active as long as you are a registered student or current faculty/staff member.

Contact Residential Life or Jacks Dining for questions on meal plans or housing.

Vending on Campus

Vending machines are placed throughout campus. As a general rule, snack and drink machines accept dollar bills, change, Hobo Dough and credit cards.
