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. Changes to student printing quotas have been made. For more details, refer to BUC$ FAQ website.
