WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MY MEAL PLAN?
DINING DOLLARS:
- Dining Dollars are a tax-free, declining balance fund that spends dollar for dollar any JMU on-campus dining location including dining halls, retail locations, vending machines, and concessions at university stadiums, arenas & sports fields.
- Since they’re tax-exempt, Dining Dollars offer guaranteed savings over cash, credit, or Flex Dollars and they also have more spending power than Meal Punches.Dining Dollars can be used for a guest if the cardholder is present at the time of purchase. Any unspent Dining Dollars from the fall semester will roll over to the spring. Any unused Dining Dollars at the end of the spring semester are forfeited.

One Meal Punch can be used to purchase up to $7 of items at Market 64, Memorial Corner Bistro, and Festival Food Court.
GUEST PUNCHES*

- Guest Punches are valid at D-Hall & E-Hall all-you-care-to-eat dining locations.
