Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars can be used at all New School cafeterias. Purchases made with Dining Dollars are exempt from sales tax.

Any money left in your Dining Dollars account at the end of the fall semester will roll forward to the spring semester, but balances remaining at the end of the spring semester are forfeited. It is not possible to transfer funds between Dining Dollars, Dining Dollars Plus, and Newcard Cash. If a student moves out of a college residence before the end of the current semester, a partial refund may be granted, depending on the circumstances.

To see your Dining Dollars/Dining Dollars Plus/Newcard Cash balance and/or add money to your Newcard Cash balance, log on to the Newcard Cash portal with your NetID and password. Instructions for parents and other first-time guest users can be found on the Newcard Cash page.

Dining Dollars Plus can also be used at New School cafeterias, as well as off-campus food merchants. Off-campus purchases made with Dining Dollars Plus incur sales tax. At the cafeterias, the cash register automatically charges the Dining Dollars account first, but once your Dining Dollars have been used up, the system will charge your Dining Dollars Plus account.

Any money left in your Dining Dollars Plus account at the end of the fall semester will roll forward to the spring semester, but balances remaining at the end of the spring semester are forfeited. Balances cannot be transferred between Dining Dollars, Dining Dollars Plus, and Newcard Cash credit.
