Weekly board meals (12, 14, 19 and 7 meal plans) are good only for the week they are issued and do not carry forward to the next week. There is no credit for unused meals.

Semester board meals (40 and 65 meal plans) are good only for the semester in which they are purchased and do not carry forward to future semesters or academic years. There is no credit for unused meals.

StagBucks, which may be purchased as "add on dollars" to be used after Dining Dollars are exhausted, are accepted at all dining facilities, and are valid until a student's graduation withdrawal from the University. StagBucks are also accepted at the University Bookstore and campus vending machines, and can also be used to pay for additional laundry cycles or print jobs once those allotments have been expended.
