I'm broke! Can I withdraw money from my Dining Dollarsaccount?
Sorry, no. Meal plan and Dining Dollar purchases may exclusively be used in Pacific University Dining Services locations. This helps ensure that funds budgeted by parents and students for food remain available for that purpose throughout the semester.
Can I use my friend's card if they approve it?
Meal plans and Dining Dollars on each person's dining card may only be used to make purchases if the cardholder is present. Only the person matching the photo on the ID card is authorized to use it. We check each card carefully to prevent theft from lost or stolen cards for your protection.

What happens to my Dining Dollars at the end of the term, year, or when I leave Pacific?
If you have a:
- Commuter, Faculty and Staff Meal Plan (Semester Meals + Dining Dollars), any remaining Dining Dollars at the end of each semester will roll-over until you graduate or leave the Pacific University community. At that time, the funds are non-refundable. Semester-based meals expire at the end of each semester.
- Dining Dollars Only Plan: These are available until you leave Pacific University. These funds roll-over from semester to semester and year to year as long as you remain enrolled or employed at the University. When you leave campus, remember to spend all your Dining Dollars because the funds are not refundable.
- Students, faculty and staff with Dining Dollars who are not returning to the following academic year. To help you use any excess Dining Dollars funds at the end of the academic year, we hold a special sale we call the Bulk Buy! We make a special purchase of snack items and beverages and offer them to you for purchase with your remaining Dining Dollars at great prices. Typical items for sale include snocks, Snapple, Sobe, granola bars, fruit and candy. You simply place an order with us, we deduct it from your Dining Dollars and you have fresh snacks for the summer break.
