Weekly meal plans include a set number of meals per week, which allows one meal to be redeemed during a meal period. Meal periods include breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night on Monday through Friday, and brunch, dinner and late night on Saturday and Sunday. Weekly plans run Sunday morning through Saturday evening and you may choose any of the meals offered up to your selected meal plan limit. Transfer options are available daily at designated retail venues during lunch, dinner, and late night. Unused meals do not carry over to future weeks.
Weekly plans include five guest meals for the semester and they may only be used in Riverside Commons or as a Transfer Meal in the company of the meal plan participant. Guest meals may not be used for premium meals. Guest Meals expire at the end of each semester.

Block Meal Conversion
Block meal plans allow participants to convert meals to Dining Dollars during designated time periods each semester.
Block plan participants may convert between 1 and 30 meals into dining dollars (limited to the remaining balance on their account) at a rate of $6 per meal (maximum of $180 in Dining Dollars). Once meals are converted to Dining Dollars, they may not be converted back to meals. Dining Dollars cannot be refunded should the meal plan be canceled.
Dining Dollars
Dining dollars are placed in a debit account for each meal plan participant. Students are allowed to use dining dollars for the purchase of food and beverage items at any dining venue in University Center. Purchases made with dining dollars will receive a 10% discount on food/beverage items and are exempted from sales tax. Dining dollars may also be used at anytime throughout the respective semester. Dining dollars cannot be purchased independently, taken as cash or transferred to others, and expire at the end of the semester.
