Student Accounts & GET

Student Accounts

Ram Cards contain four student accounts, Ram Account, Café Cash, meal plans, and Print Bucks. Each of the four student accounts has its own designated purpose. Funds are not transferrable between accounts, are not available for withdrawal, and are not refundable.

Meal Plans

Meal Plans 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. Meal plans cannot be modified once elected. For more information on meal plans, see the Meal Plan FAQ.

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. If the student has exhausted their meal plan, add funds to Café Cash.

Print Bucks

Funds can only be used for on-campus printing purchases through an on-campus printing station. Students are allotted a set amount of funds per academic year by the university. Print Bucks expire at the end of the academic year. Funds cannot be deposited into the Print Bucks account. If your student needs more funds for printing, add funds to Ram Account. For more information about on-campus printing, rules, instructions and locations are available.

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. Ram Account is the only account that can be used to make purchases off-campus. Ram Account funds do not expire.

Student Account Terms and Conditions

You may pay for purchases using Ram Account funds as long as you are a member of the Suffolk community. Ram Account funds roll over from semester to semester and from year to year. There are no fees associated with the Ram Account. Ram Account funds, however, are not available for cash withdrawal. Upon graduating from or leaving Suffolk University, or after 24 months of inactivity, you will forfeit any remaining Ram Account funds. Ram Account deposits are nonrefundable.

Recommended Budget

There are numerous factors to consider when deciding the initial amount of money you would like to deposit into your Ram Account, such as:

• Do you live on campus?
• How many meals/snacks a day will you be eating while on campus?
• Will you be making purchases at the bookstore?

Please note that all funds will roll over from semester to semester and from year to year. If you don't use all your money in one semester, you always can in the following semester.

GET Service Portal

The GET Service Portal manages Ram Card transactions, funds, and other card management functions. You can view your transaction history and account balances, add/manage funds, order food at on-campus dining halls, upload your ID photo, and discover off-campus locations that accept Ram Card. Parents, Guardians, and other relatives can add funds to their students accounts through the Parent’s login. Visit Ram Card for Parents for more information.

GET Mobile App

The GET Mobile app allows you to add funds, view student account balances and transactions, redeem rewards and more while on the go. You can also make purchases at university dining halls with the barcode through the GET app.
