Faculty/Staff Declining Balance $100
$100
What you get: Declining Balance works like cash in any Retail Restaurant, Dining Hall or Discovery Park.
Where: Everywhere! All UNT Dining Halls and Retail Restaurants.
When: Year-round. Rolls over semester-to-semester.
Why we love it: Great budgeting tool and a convenient, cashless payment method 100% dedicated to food. Declining Balance functions like a debit card—each time you make a purchase, the cost is deducted from the balance on your card. Declining balance is a dollar-for-dollar exchange, so if you purchase $100 in Declining Balance, you will have $100 in Declining Balance loaded onto your UNT ID card.
Good to know: When asked for your payment method, tell the cashier you’re using Declining Balance. You’ll pay our Standard Door Rate for Dining Hall meals, or you can pair with another Faculty/Staff Meal Plan to save big!
