Meal Plan Basics
Q. Will my meals carry over if I don't use them all in one week?
A. Meals in the 19, 14, 10 meal plans do not carry over from week to week, and reset every Monday. Meals in one of the block plans – 75 or 40 - roll over from week to week and can be used throughout the duration of the semester. To get the best value, choose the meal plan membership that best fits your eating habits, budget and schedule.
Q. What happens to unused Dine Dollars at semester's end?
A. Unused Dine Dollars transfer from fall to spring semester, but don't transfer at the end of spring semester. They're not refundable and can't be transferred to the new academic year.
Q. What's a "missed meal factor"?
A. Because students don't generally eat all their meals each week, memberships are priced with that in mind. Students on memberships with fewer meals tend to eat a higher percentage of their meals, thus their per-meal cost is higher. No credit shall be given to students for meals missed on any meal plan.
