Campus Dining

Students have the opportunity to select a Meal Plan that fits their individual needs. Meal Plans are designed to be flexible for an array of lifestyles and appetites. Smaller plans are available for Non-Corps Upperclassmen and Off Campus students.

On-Campus “New First Time Freshmen” (regardless of the number of college credit hours) are required to have a minimum Block Meal Plan for the full academic year (or remainder of the year for those that apply for housing after the beginning of the Fall semester.) White Creek Apartment Freshmen are required to have a minimum Block Plan or the White Creek Apartment Dining Dollar Plan.

All Corps of Cadets members are required to have a minimum Block Meal Plan as designated by the Office of the Commandant in order to meet requirements of mandatory March-In Meals with the Corps. March-In Meals are automatically deducted at the beginning of each semester from meal plans.

Non-Corps Upperclassmen and Off-Campus students are not required to purchase a Meal Plan, but the option is available to them to aid in budgeting and provide dining discounts.

To learn about Meal Plan requirements/options, visit dining.tamu.edu.

There are two types of Meal Plans: Block Plans (include Meal Swipes and Dining Dollars) and Dining Dollar Only Plans.

Meal Swipes: used at the 3 all-you-care-to-eat Dining Halls on campus. One “Swipe” at the front register grants access to the entire buffet! Meal Swipes can also be converted into a “Retail Swipe” once per day. Retail Swipes allow students to get whatever they like off of the menu at select retail locations (such as Chick-fil-A) for up to $7.50. This adds flexibility and variety, however for the best value, we encourage students to use a majority of their Meal Swipes at the dining halls.

Dining Dollars: A dollar-for-dollar currency located on the Aggie ID and accepted at all dining locations on campus, including the Aggie Express convenience stores, Starbucks, and Food Trucks. Dining Dollars are not accepted at the Barnes and Noble Café in the MSC. Dining Dollars are only accepted on campus, assuring parents/guardians that this money is spent only on food, beverages, and other important supplies (such as toiletries, scantrons, Advil, etc.) Dining Dollars can not be overdrawn and can be refilled at any time.

Each purchase is automatically deducted from the account and can be tracked at mealplans.tamu.edu. All Meal Swipes expire at the end of every semester. Dining Dollars roll over from the Fall to the Spring Semester with the purchase of a Spring Meal Plan. Dining Dollar Only Plans will automatically roll over to the Spring semester without the purchase of a new plan. All Meal Swipes and Dining Dollars expire at the end of the Spring semester and do not roll over to the Summer or Fall. We recommend students select a plan that best fits their dining habits. Downgrade/Upgrade deadlines can be found at our website. Dining Dollars can be added in increments of $25 at any time.

All Dining Plans are loaded onto the Student ID to make access and use easy. Fees for the selected Meal Plan will be added to the student’s Texas A&M University student fee, and are separate from housing fees. Any plan purchases or additions made after the ninth week of class cannot be charged to the student’s account and must be paid via credit card. For questions about billing, email dining@tamu.edu.
