Flex Accounts

Flexible Dollars Around Campus!

“FlexBucs” refers to a line of credit. Upon your request, funds can be placed on your Barry ID card, which can be used around campus as a debit card. This service is available to both resident and commuter students.

Specifically, you can use your Flex account dollars at:

• The Barry Bookstore - to purchase books and other supplies
• Russell Dining Hall, Buc Stop Café, Grill 155°
• The residential halls’ laundry facilities

To qualify for “flexible dollars”, you must be currently registered for the semester and have in your possession a valid student ID card.

There are two ways of placing money on to your Flex account:

• Any excess of financial aid (i.e. loans, grants, scholarships), after the cost of your tuition and fees are covered, can be placed, at your request, on to your card.

OR

• At any time during the semester, payments can be made directly to your student account, and then transferred to your ID card. These payments can be done at any time, as often as needed, and for any dollar amount that fits your needs.

NOTE: Often used to purchase meals, coffee or snacks between classes, FlexBucs, unlike Commuter Meal Plans, do not restrict when or where your funds may be used. Also, Flex dollars never expires once the term has ended, but will instead roll over to the next semester.

To check your Flex account’s balance or retrieve your unused funds, call the ID office at 305-899-4900, (this number is located on the back of your student ID card). They will forward your remaining money back to your main student account (with CBO) and you can then request a refund of this credit.
