BUC$ program to be discontinued
BUC$, the optional student amenity that allows prepaid funds to be added to a student ID card to pay for certain University services, will be discontinued. This decision was made after a thorough review of campus needs and available technologies. The change allows a transition to more modern, flexible and widely used payment options across campus.
Starting Aug. 4, 2025, adding funds to a BUC$ account on a student ID card will no longer be available. Any residual BUC$ balances will remain available for use through May 29, 2026. Dining Services and the University Bookstore will continue to accept BUC$ during this time. Students may also convert BUC$ balances to dining dollars or request a refund by emailing BinghamtonMealPlanOffice.USA@sodexo.com or visiting the Meal Plan office in UU-B02. Students are encouraged to spend BUC$ balances this academic year. Campus Printing Services and Library copiers have been updated to accept credit cards. Changes to student printing quotas have also been made. For more details, refer to BUC$ FAQ website.
