If I don't use all of my meals in one week, do they carry over to the following week?

Meals per week do NOT carry over from one week to the next on the Ultimate, Gold, Silver and Eagle plans.  Commuter Meal Plans with Flex meals can be used anytime during the semester.

Can I change my Dining Plan?

Yes.  You have the opportunity to change your meal plan during the first week of the fall and/or spring semesters.  If you are a resident student, simply go to the Residence Life office in DiGiorgio Campus Center Room 237 and fill out a meal plan change form. If you are a commuter student, please go to Dining Services Office in Thomson Hall Room 112.

What happens to my unused Cafe Cash at the end of the semester?

Your unused Cafe Cash transfers from the fall to the spring semester.  Any unused Cafe Cash expires June 30th.  Summer Cafe Cash expires August 15th.   Please view our Meal Plan Cancellation Policy for more information.

Can I treat a friend by using two meals in a meal period?


No. Meals are not transferable.  However, you may use your Cafe Cash to treat guests at any dining location.

What do I do if my Cafe Cash runs low?

Each time you purchase a meal, you may ask the cashier to tell you how many meals and/or Cafe Cash dollars you have remaining.  If your Cafe Cash runs low, you can add more to your account at any time using cash, check, money order, or credit card.  Simply stop by the Dining Services office located at 112 Thomson Hall or log onto our website 24 hours a day/7 days a week and place your order online to add to your Cafe Cash account.

What if I lose my Dining/ID card?

Lost cards must be reported immediately to the Dining Services office by calling 803-323-2119.  You can obtain a replacement card at the ID office in Tillman Hall.  Dining Services also issues a temporary card that will allow you to use your meals for $2.00.

If I don't have an existing Cafe Cash account, can I still purchase online?
You will need a current active account to purchase Cafe Cash online.  The reason for this is that the Cafe Cash purchases are INSTANTLY added to your account, thus you must have an account in place prior to making a purchase.
