Your Dining Plan was DesigneD for flexibility .
It is not meant to be a 3-squares a day program; you should have the freedom of being able to explore off-campus, or go away for an occasional weekend! Here’s how it works:
You have a set amount of Dollars to spend as you see fit throughout the year.
• Are you generally a light eater?
Grab coffee, smoothies, or an organic snack at your local retail market.
• Does your appetite vary?
You have the option to grab a simple bagel or nosh on a full meal depending
on your hunger level.
• Maybe you’re an athlete, or just like 3 squares a day.
Keep track of your spending, and purchase more
Dining Dollars when you’re running low!
Dining Dollars are linked to your campus ID card, and can be used in all UC San Diego Dining Services restaurants and markets. Each purchase is automatically deducted from your account balance – just like a bank debit card (your balance can easily be checked at the Online Card Office!) .
