Also, you can have a Cane Express account ([Cane</a> Express Account | DCIE | University of Miami](<a href=“http://www.miami.edu/dcie/index.php/canecard/caneexpress/]Cane”>Division of Continuing & International Education | University of Miami)) which is linked to your Cane Card and is pretty much a debit card for on-campus stores like the food court, the bookstore, vending machines, etc. You or your parents can add to your Cane Express balance online.</p>
