Lesley Card - How to Use The Accounts on Your Lesley Card

The Lesley Card enables students to access several separate accounts: CashLynx, Meal Plans, and Dining Dollars. Each account must be funded prior to use and has unique rules for acceptance and the roll over of funds. (See the summary chart below.)

CashLynx is a prepaid spending account offering a safe and convenient way to make purchases on and off campus. It is designed to eliminate the need to carry cash. CashLynx is accepted as a form of payment at many campus locations and popular off campus businesses. CashLynx can supplement the Meal Plan and Dining Dollars for participating students at campus eateries. Value in CashLynx rolls over from semester to semester and year to year for as long as you are a member of Lesley University community.

The 19 Meal Plan is a nutritionally balanced dining program available to those who wish to take advantage of a guaranteed number of meals per week. Meal Plans are only accepted at campus dining locations. Meals must be used each week and do not carry over from week to week.

The meal plan block plans offer a nutritionally balanced dining program available to those who wish to take advantage of a guaranteed number of meals per semester. Meal Plans are only accepted at campus dining locations. Meals must be used during the semester in which they are purchased and do not carry over to the following semester.

Dining Dollars are similar to cash value available on meal plans. Dining Dollars are only accepted at campus dining locations. Several meal plans have some Dining Dollars included. Dining Dollars roll over from fall to spring semester. Unused balances expire at the end of the academic year.
