High Point University has many improvements that have been added by new president Nido Qubein. One of these improvements is the High Point University Extra Card. This is an account on the student card which holds money that can be added by credit card through the students online MyStuff account. The HPU Extra account was created to help students pay for items that are not included in the regular dining plan. With the expansion of the school, new venues were added for the students. These included vending machines, a Convenient store, and restaurants on campus. The Extra card would allow students to use the money on the account purchase these items. Also, off campus venues were acquired by the school to be HPU Extra card accessible.
The expansion of the venues that are accepting of this account have increased every year. My first year here at High Point University the only available venues were the on campus ones and three off campus. Barberitos, Jersey Mikes, and Dominos were the only three off campus establishments that accepted the credit card like account. Over the past two years the venues have tripled leaving students very satisfied with the newly acquired.
Senior Mike Nelson states "Since my freshmen year, the HPU Extra card has grown tremendously. It was been awesome because the school was able to get a lot of the most popular restaurants around town to be Extra card accessible." Newly added Carolina Diner, Sonic, and East Coast Wings and Grill have been student favorites.
The University does not play to stop there. They are just beginning to tap into the food court at the local mall, Oak Hallow Mall. This would be another huge step because this is where a lot student do there shopping. it would be convenient for students to be able to use their Extra card at any one of the venues in the food court. "Oh my God, this would be amazing because I'm tired of having to spend more cash at the food court every time I go shopping. It would be so much easier to separate the shopping money with the food money," says Junior Christina Ferraiolo.
