Dining Plans & Rates
Dining Bucks provide maximum flexibility for both cash operations and all-you-care-to-eat venues. You will receive a preset amount of Dining Bucks per semester and your balance will decline as you purchase meals from all-you-care-to-eat dining locations or a la carte food items from our cash operations such as The Market @Stangel/Murdough or The Commons @Talkington. With your dining plan, you get discounted rates at all of our locations.
