What is declining balance?
Declining balance is like a debit account accessed by your RacerCard. The dollars in declining balance may be spent like cash in any Dining Services location, the Bookstore, and Copy Express – all conveniently located on campus. Money remaining in your declining balance account will carry over from one semester to the next. Additional declining balance dollars may be added in any amount at the Cashier’s Office, on the second floor of Sparks Hall, or by calling the Cashier’s Office with a credit card. Checks and cash are accepted inside at the Racer Card office, and checks are welcome in the drop box on the first floor of the Curris Center outside the Dining Services Office. You may also add declining balance on RacerPay. Anyone is eligible for declining balance and there is no minimum deposit to open an account. Freshmen and sophomores must have a meal plan before they can add declining balance. To obtain the amount of funds left on your declining balance you may ask a cashier to check
