Punch, Meal, or Bucks?
It is understandable that with words like “Punch” and “Dining Bucks” floating around that you might not understand just how a meal plan works. You are probably asking yourself, "Ok, but what does it mean?"
What are Punches or Weekly Meal Passes?
A Punch or Meal Pass allows a student entrance into the SJU Refectory and the Gorecki Dining/Conference at CSB, the two all-you-care-to-eat dining halls on campus or for weekly meal specials at the cash operations. All food must be consumed in the dining halls. If you are on the Comfort plan, weekly meal pass balances must be used by Sunday evening of each week. They do not transfer to the next week. Meal passes must be used at the end of each semester.
Dining Bucks are included in the meal plan to give students added meal flexibility. Each Dining Buck has the same value as $1.00. Dining Bucks may be used at dining locations on the CSB or the SJU campus. Students can use their Dining Bucks to purchase additional meals beyond the weekly passes or they can be used to purchase individual drinks or snacks. If need be, you may add additional Dining Bucks to your food account throughout the semester. If a Spring Semester meal plan is purchased, then Dining Bucks remaining at the end of the fall semester will rollover to Spring Semester. If no meal plan is purchased in the spring, Dining Bucks must be used at the end of fall semester as they do not rollover into spring semester.
Student Meal Plan and Dining Bucks Refund Policy:
All Dining Buck deposits are added to a student campus meal plan. Dining Bucks purchased are non-refundable. Meal Plans expire at 12:00am (Midnight) the morning after the last final in the Spring Semester; Meal Passes and Dining Bucks must be used by the end of the academic year. Any remaining Meal Passes and Dining Bucks will be completely forfeited at that time and is not eligible for a refund, rollover, gift card or anything that holds value or that may be used in exchange for goods/services.
