Meal Plan CostsHours and Menus
Dining Dollars
Dining dollars operate like a giftcard and can be used at Cunniffe Commons, The Market, and Brickman Café. They can be used on all menu items at any time the locations are open.
*Dining dollars balances do not carry over from semester, so be sure to use them before they expire at the end of each semester.
Meal Exchange
The 19 and 14 meal plans allow for one meal exchange per day for use at The Market or Brickman Café. This means you have the ability to use your meal swipe on select combo meals in lieu of swiping at Cunniffe Commons.
Meal Swipes
The 19 meal plan is a full meal plan providing a swipe for all breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner designated meal periods. The 14 meal plan allows a swipe for your choice of 14 meal periods per week. The 7 meal plan allows a swipe for your choice of seven meal periods per week at Cunniffe Commons.
