At the beginning of the semester, a specific amount of Dining Dollars is added to a student’s Dining Debit. The amount is determined by the meal plan a student chooses (Deluxe, Premium, or Standard). Then a student simply uses his or her Dining Debit card, front loaded with the 9.5% tax relief, at any Campus Dining venue, dollar-for-dollar. This system gives students the liberty to eat what they want, when they want.

When choosing a meal plan, please consider the student’s class and work schedule. We advise to consider the following questions when choosing a plan: Is it common for the student to commute home every weekend? Are classes scheduled for most of the day? Will the student be on campus 7 days a week? Does the student study in between class lectures? These are the questions that will help guide students ranging from housing that are generally on campus most days of the week, or commuters that are on campus less than 5 days a week on which meal plan will be right for them and their needs!
