You can add MAC Money to your card at the MAC Express Machine in the Learning Technology Center.

How can I use my Highlander Student ID Card?
The card can be used for all existing ID card services, such as checking out library books, purchasing items from our bookstore and dining facilities, and printing and copying in the library and in campus labs.
