BASELINE PLUS 2014 - 2015 All hall residents are required to have a Baseline plan for dining. Baseline Plus is an additional debit account that is used for other campus purchases. Initially each plan holder chooses an amount to deposit based on anticipated needs. A Stout OneCard is used to access all account funds thereby eliminating the need to carry cash. Where can Baseline Plus funds be used? Baseline Plus funds are used in residence hall laundry facilities, vending machines, copy machines, Library printers, purchases at the campus bookstore, or health & fitness center memberships. In addition, Baseline Plus funds can be used as an alternate means of payment in dining location once Baseline funds (dining only) have been depleted. At all dining locations, the computer checks Baseline funds for a sufficient balance to complete the transaction. When there is not enough funds, the computer then checks Baseline Plus. If a sufficient balance is found here, the transaction is completed with the amount deducted from Baseline Plus funds (at Baseline prices). How much Baseline Plus funds will I need?
