You must add value to your account before using SweetCash to make purchases. You must have sufficient value available in your SweetCash account to pay for each transaction. Each time you use your SweetCash account, the amount of the transaction will be deducted from your account. You may not spend more value than you have. Unused balances roll over semester to semester and year to year.

Your 16-digit SweetCash number is located on the front of your Sweet Briar Card below your SBC ID number.

Board Plans: All residential students are required to participate in the meal plan program. Those living in the Green Village are required to participate in the 10 meals per week board plan. All other residential students are required to participate in the 19 meals per week board plan. Each time you access Prothro Dining a meal is deducted from your weekly balance. Both meal plans also include 4 Guest Meals at Prothro Dining per semester. Both meal plans include $325 in Dining Dollars per term that allows each student to purchase, a la carte, items at the Houston Bistro, Daisy’s Café, and additional entries to Prothro Dining after the weekly meals have been redeemed or for guests after the Guest Meals have been exhausted.

SweetCash is a prepaid spending account that is separate from your meal plan. It’s welcomed at all campus dining locations, as well as other on and off campus locations.

Funds transferred by debit/credit card and cash are available instantly. Check deposits are available on the business day received. If a check is returned to us by your financial institution for insufficient funds, the deposit will be reversed from your SweetCash account and a Returned Payment/Check fee will be assessed. If the Returned Payment/Check fee creates a negative balance in your account, you will be contacted to make another payment to the account.

At retail locations, SweetCash works much like a debit or credit card. Just present your Sweet Briar Card for payment to the attendant at the register. Your card will be swiped in a terminal and the transaction authorized. You will need to sign a printed receipt of the approved transaction. At laundry facilities and vending machines, simply insert your card in the terminal.

SweetCash can be used at all dining locations on campus, The Book Shop, Library Services, laundry facilities, Campus UPS Shipping, and vending machines.
