Dutch Debits

Important Update on Laundry Use on Campus

Hofstra University has created a general declining balance account called DUTCH DEBITS. This account is accessed with the HofstraCard. To activate the account, simply make a deposit using cash, check, money order, Visa or MasterCard. (Get more info about your account.) You may use the Dutch Debit account at many locations on campus. The amount of each purchase is automatically deducted from the total balance. With the Dutch Debit account, you don't have to worry about searching for change for vending machines, or whether you have enough money to purchase items in the Bookstore. Simply plan ahead and deposit what you feel you may need for the semester, or even the school year, into your Dutch Debit account. You will enjoy convenient purchasing at these campus locations:

• The Hofstra University Bookstore.
• HofstraCard Services (replace a lost HofstraCard with Dutch Debits).
• Hofstra Concerts.
• Entertainment Unlimited, Movies, Concessions and Events.
• University Copy Machines.
• Snack Vending Machines.
• Health and Wellness Center.
• Hofstra Hillel.
• Computer Repair Center.

* Please calculate your anticipated costs carefully as deposits to this account are nonrefundable. Any unused balance will be forfeited each year, the day following spring commencement. The balance may not be transferred to any other account.
