Carthage Cash • Life at Carthage • Carthage College

Manage your money for meals and other expenses 24/7.

Carthage Cash is money you put on your Carthage ID card to use at on-campus eateries, in the Carthage bookstore, and at select off-campus establishments. You can manage your Carthage Cash 24/7 using your smartphone or laptop. Carthage Cash does not replace meal points (learn more about Carthage Cash and the student meal plan below). Instead, think of your Carthage ID as a reloadable debit card.

Carthage Cash funds carry over from term to term, year to year, as long as the cardholder is an active student or employee at Carthage. When a student graduates or an employee leaves the College, refunds of account balances in excess of $15 are available by visiting the Office of Student Financial Services in person or by making a written request. Failure to request a refund within one year will result in account closure with any remaining balance going to support Carthage.
