How Meal Plans Work
Meal plans are geared specifically to make your life simpler! A magnetic stripe on the back of your Student ID card works with our computer system to identify you as a meal plan member. Our meal plans are easy, economical and designed to meet the needs of your busy campus lifestyle.
Dining Dollars work on the same principle as bank debit cards. Each time you make a food purchase, the total cost of your meal is subtracted from the dollar balance in your account. Dining Dollars can be used at your discretion throughout the fall and spring semesters and are accepted all over campus.
All full and part-time students are eligible to purchase a meal plan. Students who reside in residence halls without in-suite kitchen facilities are required to purchase at least the minimum 14 Meal Plan. The plans can be used at the Fresh Food Company, the Café, Locklin Hall Coffee Shoppe, Allied Snack Shop, Pride's Den, Campus Concessions, and the Convenience Store. Here are some important features of the Meal Plans to keep in mind.

Weekly Meals
The meal allowance lets you enjoy all-you-care-to-eat dining for the breakfast, lunch and dinner meal periods at the Fresh Food Company in Cheney Hall. You receive a set number of meals per week, based on the plan you select, unless you have selected the 200 Block Meal Plan or the Unlimited Meal Plan. When you eat at the Fresh Food Company, a meal is subtracted from your weekly meal balance. You may only use one meal per meal period, unless you select the Unlimited Meal Plan. Choose your dining membership based on your eating habits and schedule. The 19, 14, 7 and 3 Meal Plans reset each week on Thursday morning.
Dining Dollars
All of the dining plans provide Dining Dollars (DD), which are accepted like cash in all of our dining locations. Dining Dollars function using the same concept as a debit card. Use your Dining Dollar account for beverages, snacks or full meals for yourself and your friends. Whatever you like, whenever you want it. The total purchase will be subtracted from your Dining Dollars. You may add Dining Dollars to your account at any time.
