Auxiliary Service Corporation - Frequently Asked Questions

Commuter students have the option of purchasing a block of declining balance dollars.  With each purchase, the balance will be on the student's ID card.  Declining balance dollars have a $1 for $1 value and may be used at any on campus dining location, including paying the door rate at POPs.

A commuter meal plan offers a convenient, flexible, and cost-effective way to enjoy meals on campus. All purchases made with a student meal plan are sales tax-free, helping you get more value than paying with cash, debit or credit cards.

In addition, all declining balance meal plans include bonus dollars, giving you extra spending power throughout the semester.

With a commuter meal plan, your purchases are made directly through your student ID, so there's no need to carry cash or pull out a debit or credit card every time you eat. It's a simple, secure way to pay while you're on campus.

We understand the challenge of balancing classes, work, activities and commuting while still finding time for a quality meal. That's why our dining program is designated to provide the best combination of convenience, variety and value across our campus dining locations.

Whether you're on campus a few days each week or every day, our commuter meal plan options ar built to fit your schedule. They help you save time, stretch your budget, and enjoy great food whenever you need it.
