Can I charge Titan Dollars to my student account?

Yes. Students are allowed to charge up to $500 in Titan Dollars to their student account per semester. The $150 Titan Dollars deposited as part of the Student Convenience Program for those living in the residence halls counts towards the $500 limit. Students who wish to charge Titan Dollars to their student account must have an account that is in good standing; meaning there are no financial holds on your account. If you do have a financial hold on your account, please contact the Student Accounts office to resolve the hold.

Yes, you can make small payments to your student account up to a total of $25.00 per semester.

 

What is the Titan Dollars Convenience program?

Students living in residence halls receive $150 Titan Dollars per semester for use on campus for conveniences like laundry, food, books and other amenities. The amount was established based on past Titan Dollars usage patterns. They will be billed to your student account and are a condition of signing the residence hall contract. The $150 Titan Dollars will be available for use the Monday prior to move-in for fall and the Monday prior to the start of classes for spring.

 

Can I request an exemption from the Titan Dollars Convenience program?

We consider each request individually but some typical reasons why exemptions have been granted in the past have been:

  • If the student received a Titan Dollars Scholarship
  • Student has an unexpected medical condition that prohibits attendance at school for an extended period of time.

Also, it may be prudent to change meal plans, which will decrease the amount of Titan Dollars that are added to your TitanCard. Additional information is available on the University Dining website.

Requests for exemption from the Titan Dollars Convenience Program may be directed to the Director of Reeve Union (920) 424-3407.

 

How do I receive a refund of my Titan Dollars?

Cardholders who have left the University (withdrawal, transferred, graduation or ended employment) can apply for a Titan Dollars Refund. Remaining Titan Dollars will first be credited toward any outstanding student account balance, per the Titan Central Manager’s discretion.  Refunds will be processed and disbursed through the Student Accounts office. Balances less than $25.00 do not qualify for a refund. Refunds will be processed within 2 weeks of the close of a semester. Please complete the Titan Dollars Refund Request Form.

 

Can I accept Titan Dollars as a form of payment at my event or fundraiser?

Student organizations and departments can request to use a Titan Dollars Reader to accept Titan Dollars payments for tickets, t-shirts and other approved items. All funds collected through the reader are transferred to the WISER account listed on the request form after the close of the month.
