Dining Dollars Cards

The Business Office sells dining dollars cards in $25 increments.

Student Dining Dollars Cards

Commuter students can add value to their student ID cards, which can be used to purchase items at the Trinity Deli and at the Trinity Dining Hall.  Through participating in this program, you will get an extra 10% of value added to your card (i.e. if you pay $50, you’ll get $55 on your card).

Students must have a current Trinity ID to add value to their card.  Students may be required to get a new ID before dining dollars can be added to a student’s card.

Prior to the issuance of student refunds, students may be eligible to use their pending financial aid to pay for dining dollars.

Dining dollars can be added at any time through completing the Dining Dollars Authorization Form and emailing it, faxing it, or bringing it to the Business Office.  The Authorization Form must be completed each time that a student wishes to add funds to their dining dollars account.  Upon receiving the Authorization Form, the Business Office will place the charge on your student account.  It is your responsibility to pay any amount on your account that is not covered by financial aid.

Typically, dining dollars funds will be loaded onto your ID within 48 hours of purchase.

In the event that your ID does not work for dining dollars after 48 hours, please email Bonnie Irvin at irvinb@trinitydc.edu or call her at 202-884-9130.

Faculty/Staff Dining Dollars Cards

Faculty and staff can add dining dollars to their ID cards.  Dining dollars can be used at the Trinity Deli and at the Trinity Dining Hall.  As with student cards, faculty and staff get 110% of the value purchased added to their cards.  For example, a staff member who purchases $100 of dining dollars will have $110 added to their ID card.

Faculty and staff must have a new ID card (one with the barcode printed on the front of the card) to participate in the dining dollars program.  The Business Office will authorize a no-charge new ID for faculty and staff members who wish to obtain dining dollars.

Faculty and staff members may pay for their dining dollars charges through a one-time cash, check or credit card payment.  In addition, faculty or staff may also request that a specific amount be taken out of their paychecks each time that they are paid.

Regardless of how funds are to be added, each faculty and staff member who wishes to add funds to their ID card must complete the attached Dining Dollars Authorization Form and bring it to the Business Office.  Typically, funds will be loaded on your ID within 48 hours of purchase.

In the event that your ID does not work for dining dollars after 48 hours, please call Bonnie Irvin at 202-884-9130 or email her at irvinb@trinitydc.edu.
