PROPOSED FALL 2024-SPRING 2025 MEAL PLANS

 

Meal Plan Start Dates:

  • Tuesday, August 20th at Breakfast will be the first meal accessed for Fall 2024 Meal Plans
  • For early move-in, contact the Office of Residence Life for details

 

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MY MEAL PLAN?

DINING DOLLARS:

  • These funds are included with all JMU Dining Meal Plan options. The tax-free declining balance spends dollar for dollar and can be used at any JMU on-campus dining location, including dining halls, retail locations, vending machines, and concessions – purchases at the university stadium, arena & sports fields.

The Benefits:

  • Since they’re tax-exempt, Dining Dollars offer guaranteed savings over cash, credit, or Flex Dollars! They also have more spending power than meal “punches” or “swipes”. Dining Dollars can be used for a guest if the cardholder is present at the time of purchase. Any unspent Dining Dollars, only in the fall semester, will roll over to the spring.
 

MEAL PUNCHES: 

  • 1.Meal punches are included as part of your meal plan. You’ll get a certain amount to use each day, week, or semester.

     

  • 2.Duke Deals: Use your punch for menu items at participating retail locations. View our 2023-2024 Duke Deals. Coming Soon: Fall 2024 – Spring 2025 Duke Deals. Check back in August.

     

  • 3. Equivalency: One Punch = $7 at Market 64, Memorial Corner Bistro, and Festival Food Court

Where can I use my Punches?
