What are . . .

Meal Swipes: Meal Swipes are how you use your meal plan at the University of Arkansas. They are what you use at Pomfret and Fulbright Dining Halls, and can also be used at different restaurants across campus to exchange one swipe for one meal. How often you can use a Meal Swipe and when you can use them depend on where you're dining and what Meal plan you've purchased. 

Dining Dollars: These are purchased as a component of your meal plan. They are usable in any Chartwells location on campus (the drove, hill coffee, Flowers Nook cafe, etc.). They are different from Meal Trades and work like cash or debit. You can reload Dining Dollars to your Razorback Card in increments of $50, $75, or $100 by emailing housing@uark.edu with your name, student ID and the amount of Dining Dollars you want to add. 

Razorbucks: Money that you can add to your Razorback Card. They do not come with a meal plan and can be added separately to your account at any time in any amount. They do not expire semester to semester. In addition to working at all Chartwells dining halls and convenience stores (think Club Red) across campus, Razorbucks can also be used for:

  • Pat Walker Health Center
  • Vending Machines
  • Union Post Office and Copy Center
  • Union Hair Care
  • Campus Card Office
  • UARK Bookstore
