Account Types

LION-Dollars

LION-Dollars, also known as Lion-Cash or Dining Dollars, are purchased through Housing and are required for all students living in traditional residence halls or off-campus apartments. There are five different dining plan options to choose from that are designated by the letters L-I-O-N or A (a smaller plan for apartments). LION-Dollars are exempt from California sales tax and are non-refundable. These dining plans are active at the beginning of the school year and the funds must be used during the LION Plan contract year. Any remaining balance will be forfeited once the LION Plan contract year expires. LION-Dollars cannot be refunded in the event of theft so please keep your OneCard protected and monitor your Lion Wallet account balances, regularly.

Flexi-Dollars

Flexi-Dollars were created for students to have access to funds via their OneCard. Flexi-Dollars are accepted in many venues across campus and at a few off-campus local merchants. Flexi-Dollars can be used through the Grubhub app for any participating restaurants across the country! Flexi-Dollars balances carry over in your account from year to year as long as you are actively enrolled or employed with LMU. When you leave LMU, you are responsible for contacting the OneCard office to obtain a refund for account balances over $20. Any balances under $20 or left unclaimed for more than 60 days will be surrendered to the program to cover administration costs. Flexi-Dollars cannot be refunded in the event of theft so please keep your OneCard protected and monitor your Lion Wallet account balances, regularly.

S-Dollars

S-Dollars can be added as optional, supplemental LION-Dollars with an active LION-Dollars plan for undergraduate students only. Balances remaining in the S-Dollars Account are carried forward from year to year until graduation or other separation from the university. S-Dollars are exempt from California sales tax and can be used any place LION-Dollars are accepted. S-Dollars are non-refundable and non-transferable. S-Dollars cannot be refunded in the event of theft so please keep your OneCard protected and monitor your Lion Wallet account balances, regularly.
