Do I need a
dining plan?
As an on-campus resident, students are required to have a dining plan.
Which
dining plan
should I get?
Eat three times a day? Snack late at night? Not really a breakfast person?
Sleep in on the weekends? Have a job off-campus? Don’t worry – there’s
a plan for you. Have a question about which plan you should choose? Visit
the Hospitality website (www.hospitality.ttu.edu) and click on the “Dining Plan
Rates” link to find out which plan best suits your needs and dining habits.
When do I pick a
dining plan?
When you apply online for Texas Tech University Student Housing, you
must also select a dining plan.
How do
dining plans
work?
Your dining plan is similar to a debit card. Instead of managing a dollar
balance, you use Dining Bucks to buy food items at any Hospitality
Services location on campus. Each time you purchase food, you’re
using Dining Bucks deducted from your balance. Dining Bucks are split
evenly between the fall (50%) and spring (50%) semesters* to help you
conveniently manage your dining plan. You can add Dining Bucks if you
run out (refer to the Dining Plans Flow Chart).
*DBs are billed 60% in the fall and 40% in the spring as part of the Housing contract.
Where is my
dining plan?
Your dining plan is on your University ID card.
Where can I use my
dining plan?
You can use your Dining Bucks at any Hospitality Services location
on campus.
Where’s my
dining plan
balance?
When you make a purchase at any Hospitality Services location, the
balance will pop-up on the register. You can also access your balance
online with your eRaider info at www.raidercard.ttu.edu under the “Manage
My Account” tab.
How much do
dining plans
cost?
Three dining plans at varying costs are available to meet your needs.
The cost of a dining plan includes an operations cost plus applicable tax
to cover all overhead expenses.* This allows us to keep the facilities clean
and updated, as well as bring new and unique dining options to campus.
Plus, we return this cost to you at the register through discounts up to
50% off your meal (refer to the Dining Plans Flow Chart).

*Dining Bucks (DBs) cover food cost, disposables, supplies and per meal tax. Rates include the Dining
Operations Cost of $1,850 (plus current applicable state/local sales tax) for the entire year to cover the
cost to open the doors (refer to Dining Plans Flow Chart).
Can I change my
dining plan?
Dining plans can be changed through the 20th class day of each
semester. Running low on Dining Bucks? You can add Dining Bucks at
any time during the fall or spring semester.
Do my
dining bucks
rollover?
Yes! Dining Bucks not only carry over from the fall to spring semester,
but they also carry over at the end of the spring semester to your next
on-campus housing contract term. [Dining Bucks don’t rollover if you
move off-campus and are non-refundable and non-transferable.]

special diet needs?
