Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a meal plan?
It makes college life simpler! Why not let us shop, cook and clean for you. Purchasing a meal plan allows you to enjoy food on campus, with your friends, with no hassle.
When do I pick a meal plan?
When you register for classes you select the meal plan that best fits your needs. You may change to a larger plan or add on to a plan any time during the semester through My Account on the Dining Services web site.
Can I dine at an on campus facility if I don’t have a meal plan?
Yes; all of our facilities accept cash, credit cards and Aggie Bucks. However, you do not receive any type of discount when using these types of currency. Meal plan participants receive the lowest price on meals and an 8% discount on all purchases made with Dining Dollars.
How do I use my meal plan?
Just present your Aggie Card (student ID) to the cashier when you are ready to eat. They will swipe it for you, deducting one meal from your meal balance or the amount of your purchase from your Dining Dollar balance.
What do I do if I need more meals or my Dining Dollars run low?
Simply add meals and/or Dining Dollars to your account at any time.
Can a friend use my meal plan?
According to University policy, no one is permitted to use or borrow another student's identification card; therefore, meal plan use is not transferable.
Can I change my meal plan?
You may change to a larger plan or add on to a plan during registration for classes or at any time during the semester through the Dining Services Web site. Changes to a smaller meal plan or requests to cancel/drop are permitted only through the fourth week of classes per University policy.
