Why do I want a dining plan?It saves you money and time – making college life simpler! Why not let us shop, cook, and clean for you? A dining plan allows you to enjoy food on campus near your classes, with friends – and you are guaranteed to receive the lowest possible price on all your purchases.
Do I have to have a dining plan?Freshmen classified as U1 (with less than 30 hours) living in university housing on campus are required to purchase a minimum annual plan – Options 1- 4. All other students (U2 and above) living on campus are not required to purchase a dining plan, but it’s a great way to save 10% and enjoy convenient on-campus dining.
Although not required, students living off campus may purchase any of the plans to receive the 10% discount at Dining locations, or a reduced price (see chart next page) on the “all you can eat“ meals in our campus dining centers – Sbisa and Duncan.
Students in the Corps of Cadets are required to select from Options 1-4 of the dining plans, as designated by the Office of the Commandant, in order to meet requirements of mandatory march-in meals with the Corps. Any cadets with exceptions to the minimum Corps dining plan must be approved by the Corps Commandant.
Dining Plans Save Time and MoneyDining on campus is an essential part of the Aggie experience. Our dining plans deliver value and convenience, making campus dining easy and fun! We make meals delicious and nutritious, using fresh ingredients and constantly giving you new choices to make your dining experience fantastic.
When you buy a dining plan you buy Dining Dollars, which are credits in an account. They can be used to purchase a meal at our dining centers for a discounted rate or as “cash” in other venues, where you will receive a 10% discount on your purchases.

* All dining plans are composed of Dining Dollars. Prices listed include sales tax.
When do I pick a dining plan?For Freshmen (U1) living on campus and Corps of Cadet members: when you apply on-line for Texas A&M University housing, you also select a dining plan (note: freshmen living on-campus are required to have a minimum annual dining plan).
For Freshmen (U1) living off campus and all other on or off campus students (U2, U3, U4 and Graduate): you may register for a dining plan at anytime (once the dining plans have been activated; usually during course registration)
How do I use my dining plan?Your account is automatically activated on your Aggie ID card once you register for a plan. Dining Dollars work just like a debit card offering you a 10% discount at all University Dining locations around campus. Use your Dining Dollars to purchase food, beverages, or meals and receive more purchasing power on campus, including Rattler C-Stores.
What is the discounted dining price for the dining centers?
* There is no additional 10% discount off of the dining center meals.
How do I know how many Dining Dollars I have in my account?Simply log on to dining.tamu.edu to view your current balance at anytime. You’ll also find your balance listed at the bottom of your receipt after you make a purchase at any of the Dining locations on campus.
What if I run out of Dining Dollars?To add more Dining Dollars to your account, visit dining.tamu.edu. You may purchase additional Dining Dollars in $25 and $100 increments.
Do Dining Dollars rollover?The total amount of Dining Dollars remaining in your account at the end of the semester can be rolled over to the next semester, with a purchase of a dining plan for the next semester (within the academic year).
Since I am purchasing a dining plan for the academic year, do I have to pay for both fall and spring semesters when I sign up?No; when you purchase a dining plan for the academic year, you will be billed half of the price per semester.
Can I change my dining plan?You may change to a larger plan or add on to a plan at any time during the semester through the Dining Web site. Changes to a smaller dining plan or requests to cancel/drop are permitted only through the fourth week of classes per University policy.
Can I dine at an on campus facility if I don’t have a dining plan?Yes. All of our facilities accept cash and credit cards, but you won’t receive any type of discount. Only dining plan participants receive the lowest possible price on all purchases.
