Flexibility makes it easy to get the most value out of your plan. There are two parts to each meal plan, which you can customize when you sign up:

Weekly Meal Allowance
You choose how many all-you-care-to-eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals you want to eat in our Residential Restaurant, and include them in your plan.

Declining Balance Dollars (DBDs)
You choose how many additional dollars you want to have for the semester. DBDs supplement your weekly meal allowance and can be used at all of our service locations on campus.

Once you have a meal plan, your student ID works like a debit card. Just swipe your card and the meal change is deducted from your account automatically. You will not lose unused declining balance dollars, it will carry over.
