What is the difference between the Stanford Card Plan and Cardinal Dollars?
The StanfordCardPlan is a pre-paid debit plan that enables students, faculty and staff to purchase goods and services from on-campus activities. The Plan, an option for your Stanford ID Card, makes your on-campus day-to-day financial activities more efficient and convenient. The StanfordCardPlan is administered by the Bursar’s Office. http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/services/campuscard/cardplan.html Cardinal Dollars can be used by students living in residences with dining halls, but they can also be used by graduate students, faculty, staff, and students living in residences without dining halls. Cardinal Dollars allow you to increase dining flexibility within your residence Meal Plan by providing dining facility choices outside of your residence. With Cardinal Dollars, you can meet friends for lunch at their dining hall, dine at cafes around campus, or sample Stanford Dining’s late night eateries. http://www.stanford.edu/dept/hds/dining/resdinng/cardinaldollars.
