What are Husky Bucks?
Husky Bucks is a debit account-like program already set up on your Husky One Card (UConn ID). It is used to make purchases at various locations on and off campus. Note: Printing and copying services at HuskyPrint locations only take Husky Bucks. There are no coin machines.
For a complete listing of places that accept Husky Bucks, visit our Husky Bucks Locations page. You can make a Husky Bucks deposit, by visiting our Deposits page.
Are points the same as Husky Bucks?
Points are NOT the same as Husky Bucks! There are two resident meal plans that come with a set number of meal plan points each semester. Points can only be spent at UConn Dining Services-operated food locations. That means you cannot use points to buy food at Dunkin Donuts and Subway in the Student Union because these restaurants are not run by Dining Services. Residential Meal Plan Points that are not used at the close of each semester expire. Husky Bucks is like a debit account. Once you deposit money into your Husky Bucks account, it remains on your account until you spend the funds or separate from the University. Husky Bucks are widely accepted as a form of payment on campus and off-campus, too! To see all the campus departments and local merchants that participate in the Husky Bucks program, visit our Husky Bucks Locations page.
