Meal Plans and Payment Options
Meal Plans
Whether you live on- or off-campus, we offer a meal plan right for you. Each plan uses a meal card that acts like a debit card (see below to learn how the card works). Resident & Commuting students can add money to their meal card at any time by visiting Student Accounts in JB256.
On-Campus Resident Students

Payment Options
Meal Cards
Your school ID acts as your meal card, giving you one less thing to keep track of — plus, it’s easy to use:
- Track your balance. All the registers at our dining service facilities display your balance each time you make a purchase; cashiers can also provide a printed receipt upon your request. You don’t have to buy something to find out your balance, though. Simply present your meal card to a cashier, who can perform an inquiry. Our system processes in “real time,” so your balance will always be up to the minute.
- Increase your card’s value. If your balance starts to run low, you can add to your card’s value in increments of $10 and $20 through our kiosk machine. Larger increments can also be added through Student Financial Services. Just bring your receipt to Jasper Kane Dining Hall and we’ll take care of the rest.
- When your meal plan starts and ends. For on-campus students, your meal plan goes into effect on move-in day, and it ends when the semester does. Balance left over from fall semester carries over to spring semester. Balance left over from spring semester only carries over if you purchase the same meal plan as you did from the previous fall semester or one at greater value. Balances at the end of spring semester are nonrefundable.
Other Payment Methods
In addition to the meal plan, cash, credit cards and debit cards are currently accepted in our dining locations
