Meal Plan Terms
Residential Meal Plans:
The number in front of a Meal Plan option denotes the number of meals per week the meal member is entitled to. Students may use up to 4 meals a day at any time.  
Meal Plan Dollars:
Meal Plan Dollars come with some of the Meal Plans to supplement your options and offer you even more flexibility! Use Meal Plan Dollars in all campus dining locations and at the on campus convenience stores. Meal Plan Dollars work just like Dining Dollars but since they are only packaged with a Meal Plan they are offered at a bargain price. By using Meal Plan Dollars, you receive an 11% discount on your retail purchases. And when using them in the Fresh Food Company you will receive $1 off the meal price.
Dining Dollars:
This is a debit account accessed by the student ID. The Dining Dollars account is often used to supplement a full meal plan. The dollars deposited in this account may only be used for items purchased in all dining operations. You have the added security of not having to carry cash for meals and snacks PLUS it is also a better value than cash in that all purchases give you a discount of 11%, just like Meal Plan Dollars.
Big Red Dollars:
This is also a debit account accessed by the student ID.  The dollars deposited in this account may be used for items purchased in dining operations, as well as the campus bookstore, parking fees and more. (Since this account is not limited to dining service purchases, Big Red Dollar usage does not receive the 11% discount that Dining Dollars and Meal Plan Dollars receives.)  
Meal Membership Cancelation Policy:
Students may upgrade, downgrade or cancel their meal plan within the first three (3) weeks of each semester.

Meal plans may not be changed or canceled after the first three (3) weeks of the semester in accordance with the university policy. Refunds will not be given for a meal plan after the first three (3) weeks of each semester.
