When do I pick a meal plan?
When you register for classes you select the meal plan that best fits your needs. You may change to a larger plan or add on to a plan anytime during the semester through Dining Services Web site at diningservices.tamu.edu.
Which plan should I choose?
Choosing a meal plan depends on your eating habits:
- Are you a hearty eater or do you usually eat two three square meals a day? Then pick a meal plan with mostly meals.
- Do you eat some meals - one, maybe two a day - along with some snacking? Pick a meal plan with fewer meals, more Dining Dollars.
- Are you a light eater or do you live off-campus? Pick a plan that offers a few meals per week.
Why do I need a meal plan?
It makes college life simpler! Why not let us shop, cook and clean for you. Purchasing a meal plan allows you to enjoy food on campus, with your friends, with no hassle.
Can I dine at an on campus facility if I don’t have a meal plan?
Yes; all of our facilities accept cash, credit cards and Aggie Bucks. However, you do not receive any type of discount when using these types of currency. Meal plan participants receive the lowest price on meals and an 8% discount on all purchases made with Dining Dollars.
How do I use my meal plan?
Just present your Aggie Card (student ID) to the cashier when you are ready to eat. They will swipe it for you, deducting one meal from your meal balance or the amount of your purchase from your Dining Dollar balance.
What do I do if I need more meals or my Dining Dollars run low?
Simply add meals and/or Dining Dollars to your account at any time by visiting the Dining Services Web site at diningservices.tamu.edu.
Can I treat a friend using my meal plan?
According to University policy, no one is permitted to use or borrow another student’s identification card; therefore, meal plan use is not transferable. And unlike Aggie Bucks, meals and Dining Dollars can only be used for on campus food and beverage purchases.
Can I change my meal plan?
You may change to a larger plan or add on to a plan during registration for classes or at any time during the semester through the Dining Services Web site. Changes to a smaller meal plan or requests to cancel/drop are permitted only through the fourth week of classes per University policy.
Who can purchase a Meal Plan?
Texas A&M students, faculty and staff.
How do Dining Dollars work?
1 Diner Dollar equals $1 towards purchases in any restaurant or coffee shop on campus. Use your Dining Dollars anytime and get an additional 8% discount not offered to non-members at all Dining Services locations (15% at Sbisa and Duncan).
When can I use my Meals and Dining Dollars?
Meals are served daily from morning to late night and on weekends beginning the first day designated as “move-in” to Residence Halls until the Friday following finals (and may exclude official University holidays). Hours and location availability will vary between semesters and during summer. View facility hours on our facility page or click here.
Where can I use my Meals and Dining Dollars?
There are over 40 Dining Services locations throughout Main and West Campus. Please check our website for detailed information including hours, menus, and specials at http://diningservices.tamu.edu.
What if I have Meals or Dining Dollars left over at the end of the semester?
100 Dining Dollars can be carried over from Fall to Spring and from Spring through the Summer semester, with the purchase of another meal plan. However, unused Meals do not carry over to the next semester.
How can I convert my Meals to Dining Dollars?
Students can convert 1 Meal to 3 Dining Dollar$ at the register, upon request at check-out or by emailing dining@tamu.edu with your name, UIN and how many Meals you wish to convert.
Can I buy anything other than food with Dining Dollars?
Dining Dollars may be used only for food purchases.
What is the Maroon Plate Special?
The Maroon Plate Special is a set full meal (one entree, drink and fruit or cookies) available at most Dining Services facilities that can be purchased with Meals. For non-members, a la carte prices apply.
How do I sign up?
You may choose your plan during your designated or open registration period and the charges will appear on your tuition and fees statement from the University OR you may register for a plan at anytime 24/7 through our website. When signing up on our website you can pay with a credit card or with your student account.
