Dining Plan Features & Important Details:
- Fall Price:
The fall price of the resident dining plan includes meals for the Fall Welcome event and the New Student Welcome event. These meals are specifically for new students, and returning students do not participate in and are not charged for these events.
- Guest Passes:
Each dining plan comes with a specific number of guest passes that can be used to bring a guest for a dining experience. Additional guest passes can be purchased through your Dining Account. Each pass provides one dining experience for a guest.
Please note that guest passes do not carryover and may be voided due to public health circumstances or regulations.
- Dining Dollars:
Your dining plan includes Dining Dollars, which can be used across various campus dining locations. Dining Dollars spend Dollar for dollar. They are discounted when you purchase them and they offer tax savings on all purchases made at participating locations.
- Carryover of Dining Dollars:
Up to 100 unused Dining Dollars purchased with a fall resident dining plan will carry over to spring semester.
Dining Dollars purchased separately in the fall semester will carry over in full to spring semester.
All Dining Dollars expire on graduation day, spring semester.
