Terrapin Express
Turns your UMD ID card into a debit card that grants access to on-campus vendors and services.
Terrapin Express is optional and does not replace a Resident Dining Plan for a student living on campus. Add funds online, by mail, by phone or in person
Check Terrapin Express accounts online via terrapinexpress.umd.edu
Tips and Helpful Hints:
• The dining halls each have a dozen different food stations – try something new every day!
• Always bring your UMD ID card when you come in to eat!
• Speak up !! Talk with the manager on duty if you have a question or a concern.
• Online Services has a Spending Grid to keep track of your Resident Points!
• Terp Bucks can be used in the convenience shops for non-food purchases (i.e. personal care items, school supplies) – which will lower the number or meals available.
• BONUS TIP: the best days to go to 251 North are Monday and Tuesday!
Fall Welcome: All students classified as “new-to-housing” will receive points to use until the Resident Dining Plans are activated.
