Q. How can I set up declining balances on my student ID card?

In general, you have to work separately with the various areas to set up a declining balance. That could, however, make it harder for you track your overall card balance. You should keep some kind of expense record on your smartphone or ledger sheet. The bookstore is working with you, if you so choose to set something up with them. The Aramark director (food services) says that declining balance can be used at Chick-Fil-A, Java City, both POD locations, the Dining Hall, and Papa John's Pizza delivery (disclaimer -- this can change at any time). Students, however, must have a meal plan in order to have declining balance. The local restaurants along Hwy. 59 and Fondren do not accept declining balances on student ID cards. For more information, you can contact the Aramark Director at 281-649-3360.
