Off-Campus Merchants
Off-Campus Merchants are vendors who will accept the Retriever Card as a method of payment. These merchants can only accept Retriever Dollars for payment – Meal Plans and Flex cannot be used at these locations.
The DCARD can be used to make purchases from the following off-campus locations, to include delivery to campus. Tipping is allowed up to 20% of the food sale (not tax).
- Sorrento of Arbutus – 5401 East Drive – 0.6 miles – (410) 242-6474
The partnership between UMBC and Sorrento of Arbutus shows the university’s commitment to supporting local businesses and serves to foster a stronger connection between the university and the local community. Please contact the store for any promotions they may offer. For delivery orders, customers must use the campus address (1000 Hilltop Cir., Baltimore, MD 21250). For carry-out or dine-in orders, customers must identify themselves as a UMBC student, staff, or faculty member.
- Papa Johns – 1407A Sulphur Spring Road – 0.7 miles. – (410) 247-7272
Papa John’s is the only off-campus merchant that will accept Flex for payment. UMBC Is happy to announce that our dining services provider, Chartwells, is partnering with Papa John’s Pizza in Halethorpe to offer members of the UMBC community special pricing when ordering pizza. Papa John’s will not offer special pricing by default. To take advantage of the special pricing, state that you are ordering under UMBC’s account at 1000 Hilltop Circle. This helps the store to establish that the caller is authorized to place orders under this account. Provide your name, direct phone number, and department/organization.
The special pricing is a large cheese pizza and/or a large 1-topping pizza for $8. Additional toppings cost $2.10 per topping. There is a $5.99 delivery charge for all delivery orders.
