Why buy a Meal Plan?
WCU Campus Dining is a vital part to the Western experience.  We take pride in offering a variety of dining locations serving quality food.  We offer national brands such as Chick-Fil-A, Starbucks, McAlister's Deli, & Panda Express.  The 2nd floor of the brand new Courtyard Dining Hall offers a residential restaurant serving a variety of dishes daily. 

  • The flexibility of being able to choose your dining location at time that is convenient to you.
  • No need to carry cash, its all on your CatCard
  • Monthly special events
  • Great food choices
  • And of course, you'll save money!

    How Do They Work?
    Our meal plans are developed with our customers in mind.  Each meal plan offers the customer a wide selection of dining choices, giving them the flexibility to choose their next meal. Your meal plan is tracked on your CatCard.  Simply, swipe you CatCard and happy eating!

    Block Meals are only valid for the semester in which they are purchased.  Any block meals not used at the end of the semester expire and are no longer valid.  You block meals are to be used at the Courtyard Dining Hall RFoC.

    Declining Balance works just like a debit card.  You allotted amount of declining balance is on your CatCard, so don't lose it.  Any declining balance dollars left on your account at the end of the fall semester will roll over to the spring semester.  At the end of the spring semester all declining balance left on the account expires and is no longer valid.  You declining balance is valid at all dining locations and the snack machines.

    * You must be present at all times to use your Cat Card, you can use your block meal points and declining balances on your friends or colleagues but you must be present with the card.  If you are not with your Catcard when it is being used it will be confiscated for your safety. *
