How do I Add $ to My Penguin Pass?

Use of the Penguin Pass is separate from your tuition and Penguin Pass transactions will not appear on your bills.  No credit will be extended for transactions using the Penguin Pass - all transactions must be pre-paid by adding value to your Penguin Pass.

1. You may add value with a Mastercard or Visa at http://my.dominican.edu .  Log in with your Dominican Penguin Pass account,  go to My Accounts, and use the Deposits link.
2. Parents or guardians may make online deposits for students with a Mastercard or Visa.  Here is the page with instructions on how this can be done.
3. There is a value add station in the Library adjacent to the circulation desk which accepts $1, $5, $10, $20 and $50 denominations.
