Understanding the Meal Plan Structure & Use
All meal plans are semester based and are comprised of two components: Dining Dollars and Meal Swipes.
- Meal Swipes can be used to gain entry into one of the all-you-can-eat options (Clewell & The Star).
- Dining Dollars are a declining-balance account accepted in retail locations as payment. Dining Dollars are included in every meal plan and designed to give students flexibility when it comes to choosing meals. Dine most frequently in our Campus Restaurants, but supplement meals there with meals and snacks from Retail locations with Dining Dollars. Dining Dollars roll over from Fall to Spring Semester, but will then expire at the end of the academic year.
Students may check their balance at anytime using their 91pornÔ´´ login.
Hound Bucks
Hound Bucks are part of a declining balance account independent of a meal plan. They are available online, at any time, so even if an individual does not have a meal plan, students, staff and faculty can grab some. When you purchase Hound Bucks online, you'll receive bonus dollars, free: 10% bonus when you add $20 - $199 Hound Bucks and 20% more when you buy more than $200 in Hound Bucks. Hound Bucks stay with you in your account until your balance is $0 or until you leave 91pornÔ´´ (for any reason) - the dollars will be forfeited upon your departure.
