Ram Account – Funds can be used for any type of purchase and can be used at all on-campus locations and all participating off-campus locations. Students, Faculty, and Staff are able to use RAM Account. Ram Account is the only account that can be used to make purchases off-campus. Ram Account funds do not expire.

Café Cash – Funds can only be used at on-campus dining halls for food purchases only. Café Cash is open to both residential and commuter students. A 10% bonus is added into the account when funds are added. Café Cash does not expire.

Meal plans – Funds can only be used at on-campus dining halls for food purchases only. Only residential students are eligible for meal plans. Meal plan funds roll over from fall to spring semester and expire after the spring semester ends. Meal plans are listed as ‘Food Points’ in the GET Portal.

Print Bucks – Funds can only be used for on-campus printing purchases through an on-campus printing station or Papercut. Students are allotted a set amount of funds per academic year by the university. Print Bucks expire at the end of the academic year.

The Suffolk University community is taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint and its paper consumption with the adoption of Operation Paper Cut.

Similar to its peer institutions, Suffolk will provide a printing allotment of 500 pages per semester (in the form of a $25 credit to your RAM Suffolk University ID card) to each student enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Sawyer Business School (Boston campus only). You will be allowed to roll over any unused amounts from your printing allotment from the fall semester to the spring semester.

How It Works

1. Print your job from the computer
2. You will get a pop-up box showing the number of pages you are about to print and the total cost of the print job.
3. Click "OK"
4. You will get another pop-up box stating that your print job has been sent to a printer
5. Click "OK"
6. Go over to the release station and click on "Print Job"
7. Swipe your RAM (Suffolk University ID) Card
8. Select your print job (you may sort print jobs by user name, computer name or document name)
9. Click “Print”
10. Pick up your documents from the printer.

Replenishing Your Printing Allowance

If you run out of your printing allowance, your RAM account will be automatically billed. If you do not have funds in your RAM account, you can deposit funds electronically using a credit card.
