Beginning at the start of the Fall 2024 semester, all Syracuse University Campus Dining and Campus Store locations will operate on a fully cashless basis, joining many other campus departments, including the JMA Wireless Dome and Parking and Transportation Services. The campus community has moved away from cash usage in recent years, undoubtedly accelerated by the rise of contactless payment methods in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2023, only 3% of total campus retail and dining sales were transacted in cash. Dining and retail locations will continue to accept all major credit and debit cards, ’CUSE Cash, Dining Dollars (where applicable) and Google Pay/Apple Pay (where available).
Auxiliary Services is encouraging members of the campus community to utilize ’CUSE Cash for all purchases at Campus Dining locations, the Campus Store and at a growing list of off-campus retailers. In addition to its convenience, using ’CUSE Cash at on-campus dining facilities allows you to receive a 10% discount on your purchase. Off-campus local and national retailers will begin accepting ’CUSE Cash as they are added to the program. Currently, Bistro 1926 at Drumlins Country Club, Schoolyard Bagels and Poke Fish accept ’CUSE Cash. Additional participating locations will be updated throughout the summer and fall.
A ’CUSE Cash account can be established by any member of the Syracuse University community–student, faculty or staff. The funds are loaded via the GET app or website, and are used via the SUID card. Family members can add funds to their students’ accounts exclusively through the GET website. ’CUSE Cash balances roll over from semester to semester. For students, any balance remaining at the end of the academic year will be refunded to their Bursar account the week following Commencement. Email housing@syr.edu or mealtalk@syr.edu with any questions about establishing your ’CUSE Cash account.
