Food Plan Options

2024-2025 - Undergraduates

Meal Blocks / Swipes: The term Blocks or Swipes refers to one meal. For example, a 19-Meal per Week Plan gives you 19 meals to use per week. All unused meals expire at the end of each Sunday; they will not carry forward.

Dining Dollars: The 5 Residential food plan comes with $125 Dining Dollars (commuters only). The 10, 14 and 19 Residential food plans per week come with $250 Dining Dollars. The Unlimited food plan comes with $300 Dining Dollars. Dining Dollars unused at the end of the semester do not carry over to the next semester; they expire.

Gopher Bucks: Gopher Bucks can be used anywhere on campus, and some off-campus locations, in place of cash, or credit and debit cards. They can also be used to purchase meals in all locations on campus. Gopher Bucks carry over from semester to semester. Balances over $10 will be refunded after the student has graduated or is no longer attending.
