No, additional Dining Dollars cannot be added once a meal plan is purchased. If you live on campus and are unsure how many Dining Dollars you'll need, we recommend choosing a plan with a higher amount to start. You can use this semester’s experience to better plan for the next.

Leftover Dining Dollars will carry over from Fall to Spring if a Spring meal plan is purchased.

If you need more spending flexibility during the semester, you can add Herd Points to your ID. While Herd Points are accepted at most campus dining locations, they are not tax-free like Dining Dollars and cannot be used for Meal Exchange.

Anytime Meals act as a backup balance of extra meal swipes that kick in once all of your regular weekly meals have been used. Think of them as a safety net for busy weeks when you need more flexibility.

Each swipe used beyond your weekly meal plan limit automatically comes out of your Anytime Meal balance. Unlike weekly meals, Anytime Meals do not reset each week, so it’s a good idea to use them thoughtfully throughout the semester.

With Anytime Meals, you can enjoy added peace of mind knowing that you’ll always have the option to grab a meal on campus, even when your weekly swipes run out.

This depends on a variety of factors and is why the Meal Plan Picker can be helpful. For a direct comparison with Harless door prices, you can determine the cost/swipe of a meal plan using the formula: (Price-Dining Dollars)/Total Meals.

Example

• 14/Week + $500 Dining Dollars = $2,507
  • ($2507 (Price) - $500 (Dining Dollars)/224 (Total Meals)
  • $2007/224 = $8.96 per meal swipe

With the Harless Lunch price at $11.00 + tax, this meal plan would save at least $2/lunch with even more savings for dinner. It is important to find the plan that works best for you, so take the time to compare prices and the convenience of pre-made meals.
