How does the Berklee Card Account work?
The Berklee Card Account is a cashless, prepaid spending account on your Berklee Card that is accepted on and around the Berklee College of Music campus. Unused balances roll over semester to semester and year to year. You must add value to your account before using your Berklee Card Account to make purchases. You must have sufficient value available in your Berklee Card Account to pay for each transaction. Each time you use your Berklee Card Account, the amount of the transaction will be deducted from your account. You may not spend more value than you have.

What's the difference between my Meal Plan and Berklee Card Account?
Both accounts are accessed by your Berklee Card.
All residential students are required to participate in a meal plan which varies based on where you live on campus. Payment is made at the beginning of the each semester along with tuition and other fees.
The Berklee Card Account is a new prepaid spending account that is accepted at all dining locations on campus, the campus bookstore, select vending machines, on-campus copy center and copy machines, and popular off-campus businesses. It is designed to eliminate the need to carry cash around campus. You or your parents must add value to your Berklee Card Account before using it for purchases. Value in the Berklee Card Account rolls over from semester to semester and from year to year.

How do I make a purchase with the Berklee Card Account?
At retail locations, the Berklee Card Account works much like a debit or credit card. Just present your Berklee Card for payment to the attendant at the register. Your card will be swiped in a terminal and the transaction authorized. You will need to sign a printed receipt of the approved transaction. At self service locations, simply insert your card in the terminal.
