Ram Card

Deposit funds into your Ram Account online using a credit or debit card. Funds deposited online are credited to your Ram Account immediately.

Parents, add funds to your student's Ram Account online. First, click the parent link. Next, enter two zeroes, followed by your student's seven digit student ID number. Then, select the amount you wish to deposit.

Cash may be deposited at a Value Port located on the third floor of the Sawyer Building. Check and credit card deposits can be made at the Office of the Bursar located at 73 Tremont St., 6th floor. Checks must be made payable to Suffolk University.

If mailing a check, include the student’s name and ID number, and mail it to:

Office of the Bursar
c/o John Connors
73 Tremont Street
Boston, MA 02108

Credit card deposits through the Office of the Bursar require a signature and must be made in person. Such deposits will be credited to your Ram Account within one business day.

Meal plans are declining balance accounts designed for on-campus dining. If you are a resident student, you can use your Ram Card at Suffolk’s dining halls. Only resident students have meal plans; the Ram Account is open to all Suffolk University students, commuter and resident, as well as faculty and staff. Unlike meal plan funds—which are designated for use at on-campus dining locations only, roll over from fall to spring semester, and expire annually—Ram Account funds can be used at all participating locations on and off-campus as long as you are at Suffolk. Both meal plan and Ram Account funds are non-transferable.

Immediately report your card lost or stolen to the Suffolk University Police in the Sawyer Building’s lobby, or at The Service Portal to ensure that your Ram Account funds are not misspent. Once you have done so, your old card will be deactivated. You must obtain a new ID from the Suffolk University Police. This card will be activated the moment you receive it.The fee to replace an IDs is $25.

• All payments must made online using a credit card.

• Payment must be made before a new ID card will be issued to you.
• Once payment is made please print out the confirmation sheet or email the confirmation page to yourself. This page will include the transaction number and the date and time that the payment was made. You will need to supply this information to the security officer in order to get a new ID. The security officer will check this information before issuing a new card to make sure that you are within a 48 hours’ time frame. If you do not pick up your new ID within the 48 hours’ time frame, you will have to pay an additional $25.

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.
