How Our Meal Plans Work
Discover the convenience of our meal plans, designed with three key components to cater to your dining needs. Once you understand how each part functions, you can easily choose the meal plan style that works best for you.
Unlimited LaPo+
Included in Full Access Plans
Enjoy unlimited visits to La Posada, our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, and La Ventana, a convenient satellite dining location in the Student Union Building, with our Full Access Meal Plans.
*Please note: Meal Plans are subject to a 30-minute timeout between uses.
Meal Exchange
Included in Full Access and Community Plans
Meal Exchange offers credits loaded onto your LoboCard, allowing you to purchase eligible menu items at select dining locations around central campus. Each use deducts one Meal Exchange from your balance.
*Unused Meal Exchange credits expire at the end of each semester.
Meal Exchange Locations:
- Mercado at Dane Smith Hall
- Einstein Bros. Bagels
- Mercado at the SUB
- The Drop - Mercado at SRC
- Freshens
*Note: La Posada and La Ventana are also considered Meal Exchange locations for Community Meal Plans.
Dining Dollars
Included in Full Access and Community Plans
Dining Dollars operate like cash on your LoboCard, usable at any food location on central campus, including popular local and national eateries. All meal plans come equipped with Dining Dollars, and you can reload them at any time. *Dining Dollars do not expire between Fall and Spring semesters as long as you purchase a plan for both semesters. However, unused balances will expire at the end of the Spring semester.
