Declining Balance Dollars (DB Dollars)
Many of our dining plans offer DB Dollars which are accepted like cash in all of our dining locations. It works on the same principle as an ATM or debit card. You can draw from your Declining Balance account for beverages, snacks or full meals for you and your friends at any time.  Declining balance helps to supplement the weekly plans, enabling students to purchase some foods 'ala carte' instead of using their full meals.  Cashiers can tell the students their balances at anytime by scanning their Hamline ID card.  Whenever you buy a meal on campus, the total amount of your purchase is subtracted from your Dining Plan Dollars and you can add additional Declining Balance Dollars to your card by contacting our office.
