What are Tech Dollars?
Tech Dollars work like cash to purchase to-go items from the dining room. Tech Dollars are also accepted at the Fire & Ice Coffee Shop, which serves pastries, bottled drinks, and Starbucks specialty coffee drinks.
Switching Plans:
Students can change meal plans through the first Friday of the semester. Students who make a room change to a building that requires a smaller plan may make this change through the third week of the semester.
Special Dietary Needs:
Students who require a special diet are encouraged to speak directly with our Food Service Director and Executive Chef. These two individuals will do what is necessary to ensure that your dietary needs are met.
