Colorado State University Parent and Family Guide
Feeding Your Student While at College is Easier Than You Think
Students at Colorado State University have many convenient and delicious dining options located right on campus. Paying for those meals is also convenient. RamCash accounts can be used to purchase food and beverages across campus.
It is accepted at the Lory Student Center, any Residential Dining Center, Aspen Grille, Cam’s Lobby Shop, and coffee shops in the Morgan Library and the Behavioral Science building. These food venues offer everything from soup, sub sandwiches, healthy salads, and bagels to burgers, desserts, coffee, and sushi. You’ll also recognize familiar venues such as Panda Express, Taco Bell and Carl’s Jr. Students simply show their RamCard to purchase items and the receipt tells them how much money is left in the account.
In addition, RamCash can now be used to pay for laundry in the Residence Halls, purchase parking permits, pay parking fines, and obtain other services from CSUPD Parking Services Division.
Opening a RamCash account is simple, too. The money in the account is yours – no set-up fees and no transaction fees. Every Dining Meal Plan automatically comes with a set amount of RamCash or you can establish an account using cash, check, Visa or Mastercard.
The minimum to open a RamCash account is only $25 and you can add to it at any time including nights and weekends. It does not expire as long as your student is enrolled at Colorado State University.
Consider giving a gift certificate for RamCash as well. Your gift will help your student easily get the food items they want, when they want it – no searching for cash or credit cards – they simply show the RamCard they carry with them each day.
You and your student can easily access the account online. You will be able to view account history, check the account balance, and add money to your student’s RamCash account as you wish.
For more information, come by the RamCard Office located on the lower level of the Lory Student Center, or call (970) 491-2344 or email.
