What is stored value and how can I use it on the Urbana campus?Your i-card has a narrow black stripe on the back, which is referred to as the stored value stripe. You can add dollar value to this stripe for photocopying and printing. You may add funds to the stored value stripe at many of the value card teller machines located around campus. The amount of each transaction is deducted from your card balance. If you lose your card, the remaining dollar value on the card cannot be replaced. For that reason, there is a limit on the dollar amount that can be stored on the card. On the Urbana campus, you can use stored value at the library, the Illini Union (including the Quad Shop), and the residence halls. You can use the stored value funds only on the campus where the card was issued. If you do not have an i-card, you can add funds to a value card issued by a value card teller machine. Value cards and machines are administered by Illini Union Campus Vending rather than i-card Programs. To learn more about value card terms and conditions and value card teller machine locations, visit the Illini Union’s value card Frequently Asked Questions site at: http://www.union.uiuc.edu/services/value_card.htm.
What are Extra Credits and how do I add them to my i-card account?Extra Credits are prepaid funds that anyone with an active i-card can use to purchase meals. Value added to the Dining Services account are converted to Extra Credits (1 cent equals 1 credit). You can use these credits to purchase Classic Meals and A La Carte items in University Housing Dining Services dining halls. There is no minimum or maximum transaction amount. Extra Credits are not refundable. Extra Credits can be purchased through the web with a credit card or at any area office with cash or a check, with no minimum required. Extra Credits never expire as long as a person has an active i-card. One credit is valued at one cent. For more information, visit My Cash Account on the i-card website, or go to http://www.housing.uiuc.edu/dining/extra_credits.htm.
