Husky Card account
Add money to a Husky Card
All Husky Cards are automatically linked to a debit account which can be conveniently used to pay for various services. Deposits can easily be made with a credit/debit card through the Online Card Office ($5 minimum) and the funds are posted to your account immediately.
Be aware that adding money via the Online Card Office does not allow use at Dining Services on the UW Bothell campus.
Faculty/Staff also have the option of signing up for payroll deduction by logging in to the Online Card Office and submitting a request form.
Cash deposits are no longer accepted. Please note that the Husky Card Account cannot be used to pay for bus fare.
Using your Husky Card for dining services
Your Husky Card serves as access to your meal plan whether you live on campus or not.
Campus resident meal plans
Once you are enrolled in a meal plan, access will activate on your Husky card. If you are a new resident this process may take up to 24 hours after you first obtain your Husky card. If you lose your Husky card and get a replacement, this process may also take up to 24 hours. Please be prepared for this time lag.
Commuters and Faculty/Staff meal plans
To use your Husky card for dining while on UW Bothell campus please visit the meal plans page to add a meal plan or ‘dining bucks’ to your Husky card. Adding money via the ‘Online card office’ does not allow access to dining on UW Bothell campus.
Access to UW Bothell meal plans is not available on UW Seattle or UW Tacoma campuses.
Check card balance
To check your real-time balance, log in to the Online Card Office. You can also set up your MyUW webpage to display your account balance, however, please note that the balance indicated on MyUW is obtained through a download process once a day, so the balance shown will not reflect purchases made since the last download.
