Through combinations of Meal Swipes and Dining Dollars, Lobos can choose the right meal plan for their unique needs.

Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes may be used at select dining locations on central campus or to enter La Posada. Unlimited Plans come with three daily Meal Swipes to use at select locations across campus for on-the-go meals and include unlimited entries to La Posada. Weekly Plans may use their 10 or 15 weekly Meal Swipes to enter La Posada or on-the-go at participating campus locations. Community Plans also come with a select number of Meal Swipes to enjoy across campus or for entry to La Posada Dining Hall.

Dining Dollars
Dining Dollars are just like cash loaded onto your LoboCard for use at any food location on campus, including your national and local favorite eateries. All meal plans come with Dining Dollars and can be reloaded at any time. Dining Dollars do not expire between Fall and Spring semesters as long as you purchase a plan for both semesters; in this case, unused balances will expire at the end of Spring semester.

First-year, freshman residing on main campus (Casas del Rio and UNM Housing) are required to select one of the Full Access Meal Plans. Meal plans are purchased per semester and designed to conveniently load onto your Lobocard. Choose from Unlimited and Weekly options here.

Sign up for your meal plan or add Dining Dollars to your LoboCard through the online portal or by stopping by the LoboCard Office in the Student Union Building (SUB)
