Meal Plans - Frequently Asked Questions

Can I carry over my unused meals to the next week?
All meals must be used in the week they're assigned, and can not be carried over to the next week. There are no meal plans that allow you to carry over meals from one school year to the next.

Do my unused Declining Balance Dollars transfer to the next semester?
Unfortunately, Declining Balance Dollars do not roll over, plan on using your DB by the end of each semester.  It is roughly $12 a week per semester.

Can I change my Meal Plan?
Yes. You can change your plan the first week of classes to a membership that better fits your schedule and dining needs.  The last day to change you dining membership is the same day as room change for the residence halls. All you have to do is stop by the Residence Life Office in Richardson Towers, room 011, and complete a Membership Change Form. It's that easy.

Can I treat a friend to a meal on my plan?
It depends. Only you can use all-you-care-to-eat meals, one meal per period. But you can certainly treat a friend to a meal at any of our other dining facilities on campus using your Declining Balance Dollars (DB).

What do I do if my DB runs low?
Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to add DB. We suggest you add Tiger Funds to your card by going to the Bursar's Office located on the first floor of Wilder Tower.
