The FLEX account is a prepaid account that is optional, and is directly deposited on the MAVcard. The FLEX account can be used in several MSC departments around campus including
FLEX account deposits can be made in the MAVcard Office located in the temporary MAVcard Office in the Hamilton Recreation Center, the Business Office in Lowell Heiny Hall or online https://secure.touchnet.com/C21035_ustores/web/index.jsp
This account is frequently used in the MSC Bookstore, as the Bookstore does not allow students to use their parents/guardians credit cards as a form of payment, unless the parents/guardians are present at the time. Parents are also not able to pay over the phone for Bookstore purchases. However, a parent/guardian can call into the MAVcard office and deposit money into their students FLEX account. At this point students complete their Bookstore purchase by swiping their MAVcard at the Bookstore registers.
FLEX money can also be transferred over to the card holder's MAVmoney account. Once transferred to MAVmoney, deposits can not be transferred back to the FLEX account.
*FLEX deposits are final and non-refundable unless otherwise noted in the refund policy.
