MEAL PLANS
College life can be challenging, but dining should be effortless. That's why all students living on campus are required to participate in a meal plan.
PUrchase Bonus Bucks
Bonus Bucks are pre-paid funds loaded to your student ID for food and beverage purchases at any of our campus dining locations. It`s like having a debit card for food – allowing you to see the remaining balance each time you make a purchase. The balance carries over from semester to semester and does not expire until a student withdraws or graduates. Additional Bonus Bucks can be added at any time using a debit or credit card. Please allow two business days for funds to be available.
Bonus Bucks Benefits:
- FLEXIBILITY: Use for full meals, snacks, your morning latte, or anything in between
- CONVENIENCE: No need to carry cash!
- SPEED: Check out quickly with this method of payment
- SAVINGS: Save 10% on every purchase made with Bonus Bucks!
- GIFT OF FOOD: Family and friends can easily add Bonus Bucks funds to your account
- TAX-FREE: Bonus Bucks purchases are not taxed saving you more money!
Please note: if you want to apply financial aid to your Bonus Bucks, please visit the Dining Office.
