DINING DOLLARS

What are Dining Dollars?
Dining Dollars is a specialized account attached to your Ranger OneCard that contains your meal plan funds, which can be used at any of the 4 convenient on-campus dining locations.

How Does the Plan Work? To pay for a meal, you simply hand your Ranger OneCard to the cashier, who will verify the picture.Tell the cashier that you are paying for the meal with your 'dining dollars'. The cashier will swipe the Ranger OneCard through a card reader and the dollar amount will automatically be deducted from the balance.

The meal plan cost includes an enrollment fee to cover basic costs such as rent, utilities, dining room staff salaries, fringes and other services required to provide a full dining room operation (The Parkside Café) and the Ranger Card administrative fee. The remaining money is added to your dining plan to be spent at any of the dining locations on campus. You will realize the greatest value from your dining plan by eating in the Parkside Café because as a meal plan customer you are entitled to purchase as much as you wish in the Parkside Café at a 50% discount from regular prices. Money on your card may be used at other campus dining locations at full price. In addition, as a dining plan customer you do not pay sales tax on your purchases.

If at any time you would like to check the balance of your plan, you can have a cashier check your balance or stop by the Ranger Card Office (proper identification is required) or visit the Online Card Office.
