What is the Card Management System (CMS)?

CMS is a system that allows you manage your Dining Dollars and Campus Cash accounts online. In order to use the CMS, you must have a Campus Dining & Shops Dining Dollars or Campus Cash account for at least one business day and it must be in good standing.

With the CMS you can add funds to your Dining Dollars or Campus Cash account, view your balance and view and print your recent transactions.

Once logged in, you can add funds to the account using a credit card. The funds will be available immediately. Students may also add funds by charging the amount to their Student Account. If you select to add using the Student Account option, you will be prompted to log in with your UBit username and password. Additions charged to your Student Account will be reviewed and processed on the next business day (business days do not include Saturday, Sunday or holidays).

To have a Dining Dollars you must have a valid meal plan or dining dollars for the current semester. If you do not, you may open a dining dollars account online.
