MGA Dining & Duke Dollars

The Knight Card serves as a personal debit card. It allows you to draw upon pre-deposited funds for the purchase of products and services throughout campus. To make a purchase, just present or swipe your card wherever the Knight Card is accepted. It's that easy! The amount of your purchase will be deducted from your Dining Dollar or Duke Dollar account.

Account balance information is provided after every transaction. Cashiers can also conduct a balance inquiry for you, or you can simply access and manage your account anytime on your Knight Card Online Account.

MGA Dining Dollars

Dining dollars are tracked by MGA and roll over throughout the academic year. For example, if dining dollars are purchased in the fall semester and not all funds are used prior to the fall semester ending the funds will rollover to the spring semester and then the summer. After the full academic year is over (Fall through Summer), students will receive a refund of any remaining dining dollar balances.

The minimum amount deposited into the MGA Dining Dollars account is one dollars ($100) that is included in the meal plan. After a meal plan is purchased, it is recommended the cardholder spend Dining Dollars down before adding additional funds. Once additional funds are needed, the Cardholder is encouraged to add Duke Dollars to their account. Dining Dollar refunds will be auto refunded within 90 days of the end of the student’s last active semester. See terms and conditions for more information.


Duke Dollars

MGA students can also add Duke Dollars to the Knight card, as this is also another form of pre-deposited declining balance that can be used at multiple locations on campus including all dining locations, laundry, Pepsi vending machines, and the MGA Campus Store! Duke Dollars can be added onto the Knight card anytime online, or by visiting the Bursars office on each campus.
