Dining Options for Dorm Residents
As a first year student living in the residence halls you must pick a 15 or 21 meal plan. Sophomores may choose a 10 meal plan if they wish. In addition to the allotted meals each plan comes with bonus bucks.
- 21 meal plan = $75 bonus bucks per semester
- 15 meal plan = $50 bonus bucks per semester
- 10 meal plan = $25 bonus bucks per semester
Swipe your card at any of the food venues besides the dining hall to use up your bonus bucks. Remember to use them because they will expire if you don't use them by the end of the semester.
If you haven't already used up your daily meal allowance, a swipe can be used at Johnny's Monday - Friday between the hours of 7:30am - 9:30am or 8:30pm and 10:30pm. There are three pre-set breakfast meal options for you to choose from.
Students may use their meal card (college ID card) at Commons Dining Hall, Knollcrest Dining Hall, or “Uppercrust” in the Commons. Meal hours are posted at each dining hall.
Dining Dollars
Dining dollars is a debit card system accessed through your ID card. You select the amount you'd like on your ID card and stop in the food services office to have money added (cash or check only). Dining dollars are accepted at all dining locations.
No Cash? No Dining Dollars? No Problem.
Your ID card can also be a credit card. Swipe your card and the amount will be added to your miscellaneous statement which you will need to pay at the end of each month through financial services.
Changes to Meal Plans
Residents must indicate the meal plan of their choice on their housing contract. Meal plan changes may be made during the first week of classes during the first or second semester. Meal plans may not be changed for interim. Changes can be made in the Housing office, located in the Student Life Office within the Spoelhof Center.
Lost or Misplaced ID Cards
Your ID Card is required to be with you at all times. If you have lost or misplaced your ID, please visit the Housing Department, located in the Spoelhof Building. They will re-issue you a new ID Card for a fee of $20.00. Until your ID Card is either found or replaced, a $5.00 deposit will be asked for by the line checker each time you enter the Dining Hall(s) to eat. Once your card is replaced, please visit the Dining Services Office within seven (7) days to receive your deposit back.
