Transcript excerpt
18 dining credits per week, 200 paw bucks per semester. What's a paw buck? Dining credits are only good for tier a culinary environments. Wonder what that means. Paul Bucks can be used at any on campus facility, an off campus in zones one, three, magenta, and l. One dining credit is equivalent to the remainder of your Paul Bucks divided by the credit margin carryover. What is a credit margin carryover? Dining bucks are different than paw bucks rank can only be used when you're below 40% of your net dining credit usage for the trailing 12 meals. Good lord. Additional pawlucks can only be purchased from mister Bauman in the registrar's office, but please note that mister Bauman is deathly ill. This is insane. I give up.
