Frequently Asked Questions

What are Dining Dollars and where can I use them?
       
Dining Dollars
are used like a debit card.  You will draw the Dollars from your account to use whenever you choose.  Dining Dollars can only be used in the Marketplace, Java City, and Bits 'n Bytes Convenience Store.

How are my Dining Dollars taxed?
Tax is collected when you purchase your meal plan.  This tax amount is kept separate in your account and is drawn from when you make a purchase.  You are only taxed once.

What happens if my Dining Dollars run low before the end of the semester?
You can always add more Dining Dollars to your card starting with a minimum of $25.  For add-on Dollars purchases over $100, we offer a 10% bonus.  For example, if you purchase $100 in additional Dining Dollars, you will receive $110 to spend.

Am I allowed to change meal plans?
After checking your class, work, and study schedules, you may decide to switch to another plan.  Changes are accepted on or before the end of late registration.  Call 256-5146 or visit Student Services Center for any changes.

What happens to my unused Dining Dollars at the end of the semester?
Your meal plan dollars carry over from fall semester to spring semester, but must be used in full at the end of the spring semester.  You are still required to purchase a full meal plan each semester.  All funds at the end of spring semester are non refundable.

Can I treat a friend by using my Dining Membership?

Yes, if you would like to treat a friend, you can use your Declining Balance Dollars.  You must be present with your student ID card.
