There are two types of Commuter Meal Plans: some plans have all Declining Balance and others have a combination of Declining Balance and Meals.

Declining Balance (DB) is tax-free money that can be used in any dining location on campus - that means you are saving 6.75% on every purchase by using DB instead of cash or credit card.

Meals can be used in The Caf, our all-you-care-to-eat location.

If you choose a plan without meals, you can still use your DB to receive a dollar off each visit to The Caf.

Only the Commuter and Bronze plans can be signed up for after the first week of the semester.
