Important Notes
Dining Dollars, which may be used at any campus dining facility, are NOT carried over from fall to spring in the same academic year, nor do they carry over to future academic years. There is no credit for unused Dining Dollars.
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.
Both weekly and semester board meals can only be used in the Main Dining Room of the John A. Barone Campus Center.
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
This plan is designed for students who choose to skip breakfast or usually have a very small breakfast, but plan to eat most other meals in the resident dining halls. This plan offers higher meal plan cash per academic quarter to purchase light breakfasts or snacks at campus retail outlets.
