JSU Dining Reworks CockyBucks Program

06/21/2023

JSU Dining is hard at work preparing for the fall semester - expanding dining options and enhancing programs to better benefit students. Regular dining plans will remain available to resident and non-resident students, with Flex Dollar options. The average plan cost has been increased by approximately $70 per semester for 2023-2024. Dining plan details can be viewed online at dining.jsu.edu.All freshmen and sophomore students who do not have a meal plan and are enrolled in six or more hours of on-campus or hybrid courses will continue to be automatically enrolled in a meal program formerly known as CockyBucks (now known as JaxCash). This includes those who reside on campus. JaxCash may only be used at on-campus dining locations managed by Sodexo. CockyBucks will continue to be available for purchase, but the program is not mandatory. CockyBucks may be used at all on-campus dining locations, the JSU Bookstore, campus vending machines and select off-campus dining locations including Mason’s BBQ and Strut’s of Jacksonville. Freshmen and Sophomores (those who have earned 0-63 credit hours) are encouraged to closely review the following details outlining both dining programs.

JaxCash

  • Formerly known as CockyBucks, JaxCash is a mandatory dining program for all freshmen and sophomores who do not have another meal plan - including those who reside on campus - that are enrolled in six or more credit hours of on-campus or hybrid courses 
  • A charge of $302.50 will automatically be applied in the fall and spring semesters to the accounts of undergraduate students who are classified as freshmen or sophomores according to credit hours earned (0-63 hours) 
  • Funds will be loaded to JCards and may be used at all on-campus dining locations, on the Everyday dining app and for Kiwibot purchases.
