How can I pay for food and drink in College?

There are several ways to pay for food and drink at Wolfson. You can either use your University Card, a bank card (credit or debit), or make a contactless payment. We do not accept cash at the cafeteria or the College bar. Wolfson students and staff can scan their University card to receive a 25% discount to payments made in the cafeteria.

Formal halls are paid for in advance, using the credit from your University Card. In order to make a Formal Hall booking, you will first need to ensure that you have enough credit on your University Card to pay for yourself and any guests.

Topping up your University Card

You can top up your University Card via the Dining Portal. For guidance on using the Dining Portal, please download our Dining Portal user guide.

First, log into the Dining Portal using your CRSid and Raven password if you have one. If you do not have a Raven password, you can use your 5 digit Wolfson ID, Surname and Date of Birth.

Dining Portal Login Instructions

Once you are logged in, select "My Balances" from the menu. Then enter the amount of credit you wish to add, and click "Make Payment". Please note that the minimum credit amount is ten pounds (£10.00).
