Entry Access
Your HawksCard is used as your access key to your residence hall. To open an exterior door of your residence hall, tap your card on the card reader near the door and the locking mechanism on the door will be released for a short period of time. Remember, do not prop open the exterior doors of your residence halls as you are compromising the safety and security of the entire building.

Your HawksCard ID Is required to enter into the Jenkins Center, to check out games and equipment in the Hawks Nest and Jenkins Center, enter campus events, and to check out books in Whitaker Library.

Meal Plans and Dining $
The University has added Dining $ to each of its basic board plans, including a new 10 Meal Plan created for, and limited to, residents of Whites Crossing. 
Dining $ can be used at your discretion in the cafeteria or Murf’s. Additional information about meal plans and Dining $ can be found in the Academic Catalog. (Note: Dining $ do not carry forward from semester to semester and are non-refundable to the student.)

Laundry Services and Laundry $
The University has washers and dryers in all residence hall laundry rooms. These machines can be activated in any one of three methods: 1) use of Laundry $ from your HawksCard, 2) use of HawksBucks from your HawksCard, or 3) quarters. Each residential student, excluding those living in the Whites Crossing apartments (Bldg. B), will receive $45 worth of Laundry $ per semester on their HawksCard (ID Card). These Laundry $ can only be used to operate washers and dryers in the residence hall laundry facilities. If Laundry $ have been expended, HawksBucks, if available, will automatically be deducted to complete the transaction. Note: Unused “Laundry $” are non-refundable and will not carry forward from semester to semester.

Another laundry related feature that the University has added is called “Laundry View”. This feature allows you to check on the availability of a washer or dryer from the web. You can also use Laundry View to see if your wash or dry cycle is completed. You can access “Laundry View” by going to http://www.laundryview.com and clicking on your residence hall. If you want to access LaundryView using a mobile device, go to http://www.laundryview.com/chowan.

HawksBucks
HawksBucks is the do-it-all account! Laundry $ can be used exclusively at university laundry facilities and Dining $ can only be used only at Murf’s or Thomas Cafeteria for purchasing food. However, HawksBucks can be used to purchase goods and services at the Chowan University Bookstore, Thomas Cafeteria, Murf’s, and university laundry facilities. Unlike the other HawksCardaccounts (stored value account, i.e. Dining $), HawksBucks can be used for multiple purposes and money can be added to the account by anyone!
