What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at 14 locations across campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Dining Dollars, conveniently loaded onto your Student ID. No need to carry additional cards or cash!
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, the Christian Cafeteria.
Dining Dollars
Dining Dollars are non-refundable, non-transferable funds that can be used at on-campus dining locations such as the Christian Cafeteria, Student Center Food Court, THINK Coffee, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Starbucks, the C-Store, Donaghey Hall restaurants, and more. Any unused balance after the Summer II session will be forfeited.
Cash Equivalency
Cash equivalency allows a student to use a block plan at the Ronnie Williams Student Center Food Court. There are three blocks per day: one ($7.80) during breakfast, and two ($9.95 each) after breakfast.Meal Plan Benefits
With your meal plan, you receive many benefits and perks, including:
- Quality food made fresh by our culinary team, with a variety of menu options personalized the way you like
- Healthy choices available all across campus
- Special events with themed meals and exclusive offers for meal plan members
- Casual atmosphere with wifi, TVs, music and lounge-style seating—perfect for studying or hanging out with peers.
- To-Go Trays at Christian Cafeteria: To-go trays are available for purchase during any meal period for $10. Payment can be made with cash, card, or Dining Dollars. Please note that this purchase is non-refundable. After purchasing, return your to-go tray to the cafeteria for cleaning after each use. If you prefer to dine in instead of using your tray, you may request a chip at the entrance instead.

There are two ways you can check your Meal Swipes and Dining Dollars balance:
- On your receipt after a purchase at any dining location
