  • Weekday Meals (Monday-Friday):
These meal blocks - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - can be used at any dining location on campus. They are referred to as “traveling meals”.
  • Weekend Meals (Saturday-Sunday):
Brunch and dinner meal blocks on weekends are only valid at the Marketplace/Schatz Dining Room located in the Cohon University Center.
  • DineExtra Funds:
Residential students receive $16 in DineExtra funds each week, which can be used at all campus dining venues, including Entropy (the campus convenience store) and Scotty’s Market (the campus grocery store).

Commuter Student Meal Plan Overview

Commuter students receive $20 in DineExtra funds per day, Monday through Friday - totaling $100 per week.

  • The full $100 balance is loaded every Monday and is available for use throughout the week.
