Dining Dollars and Coastal Cash accounts are linked to your Mariner Access Card (MAC). The MAC enables you to easily use these funds.
- Dining Dollars: Residential students can make purchases at any campus dining location using their Dining Dollars meal plan. After you select items for purchase, the cashier will swipe/tap your card and deduct the total dollar amount of your purchase from your Dining Dollars meal plan. Purchases made at the Dockside Deli using Dining Dollars are tax-free. If the funds in your Dining Dollars meal plan are insufficient to cover your purchase total, the remaining funds may be withdrawn from your Coastal Cash account. If you have insufficient funds in your Coastal Cash account, you will be asked to pay the remaining balance out-of-pocket.
- Coastal Cash: All students can add Coastal Cash for use on MAC in the bookstore, the campus dining facilities, and at several vending and copy machines on both campuses. Adding money to your Coastal Cash account is easy.
Adding funds to your Coastal Cash account is quick and easy – both online and in person, using the PHIL Machine.
Online:
Students can log into the eAccounts website to add funds to their Coastal Cash account, as well as check their balance and view statements for the account. Once you have been issued your MAC card, please visit the eAccounts website and complete an easy one-time registration and confirmation of your student ID number. You will be able to use eAccounts immediately to make a deposit onto your Coastal Cash account using your debit or credit card ($20 minimum for debit/credit deposits). The funds will be available immediately for use!
Students: Is a parent or family member paying for your books this semester? Make it easy – anyone can make a guest deposit onto your Coastal Cash account at anytime using the eAccounts website! If you are already registered with eAccounts, and if the guest knows your last name and Campus ID number (9200*****), then they can make a deposit onto your Coastal Cash account. Guests will not have access to any of your personal or account balance information – they will only be able to make a deposit. Once the deposit is made, the funds will be available immediately for use on your MAC card in the bookstore, the Campus Dining Facilities, as well as at several vending and copy machines on both campuses.
Please remember – funds deposited onto your Coastal Cash account cannot be withdrawn, except upon graduation or if you permanently leave the College.
On-Campus PHIL Machine:
Got cash? The PHIL machine, located in lobby of Lakeside Village, is a quick and easy way to deposit money onto your Coastal Cash account. This machine will allow you to make a deposit using cash, debit, or credit card. To make a deposit, select “Deposit Coastal Cash,” insert your MAC card with the black magstripe facing up and remove it quickly. The screen will prompt you on how to complete your transaction based on if your deposit is cash or debit/credit card. Once your deposit is complete, the funds will be available immediately on your MAC card. Now you can make copies in the library without having to carry around a bunch of change, as well as make purchases at the bookstore and several vending machines on both campuses!
