Weekly Plans come with a set number of weekly meals swipes that can be used in two different ways. They can be used at The Table at Irvine Commons as an All-You-Care-to-Eat Meal. Seven meals per week out of your meal plan can be used as a Meal Exchange at our on-campus retail dining locations. Weekly meal swipes refresh on Sunday before breakfast, but do not rollover week to week. What’s a Meal Exchange? Don’t worry, we’ll explain!

A Meal Exchange is a set combo that can be used at any on-campus retail dining locations. You can typically get an entrée, side, and drink. Each location has different offerings for your Meal Exchange meal. Weekly meal plans include seven meal exchanges per week, redeemable at our retail locations. Block plans offer greater flexibility, with no daily or weekly usage limits.

In this type of plan, each week begins with the same set number of meals available to you. Unused meal swipes do not roll over from week to week.

Dining Dollars are included with your meal plan and are perfect for grabbing a snack, coffee, or a quick bite at any of our on-campus retail dining locations. You can also use them to pay for a guest meal or an Ozzi box at The Table in Irvine Commons. They help you save your meal swipes for full meals and conveniently roll over from Fall to Spring semester. Just keep in mind—they expire on the last serving day of Spring.

Dining Dollars are built into your plan and cannot be added to. However, a separate cash-value tender called Add On Dollars can be added at any time. These never expire and offer even more flexibility.

Dining Dollars are included with each meal plan and cannot be added to. However, a separate tender known as Add-on Dollars (cash value), can be added at any time of the year, and they never expire. You can add funds right here on the dining.redlands.edu website, or you can visit the dining office located in The Table. Whenever you add more than $100 to your card, you also will receive a 10% bonus in Add-on’s! These funds can be used at any of our on-campus dining locations.

Please Note: Funds added through the portal take time to process.

Our system breaks swipes into regular meal swipes and Meal Exchanges. Each weekly plan has 7 Meal Exchanges. If you have the 14 Meals per Week plan, at the beginning of the week you will have a total of 7 meal swipes and 7 meal exchanges. If you ever would like confirmation of your remaining swipes or balance for Dining Dollars and/or DCB, you can stop by the dining office in The Table!

Block Plans have a set number of meals that can be used throughout the semester. They do not have a daily or weekly limit. You can use your Block Plan as an All-You-Care-to-Eat-Meal at The Table in the Irvine Commons or as a Meal Exchange at any on-campus retail dining location. You can also use your Block Plan to purchase a meal for a guest at any on-campus dining location. Instead of being distributed weekly, these meals are distributed at the beginning of each semester.  Meals in a Block Plan roll over from the Fall to Spring semester but expire on the last serving day of the Spring semester.

We’re committed to offering meal plans that work for you. Defined plans like Weekly 14, Weekly 10, and Block 100 or 75, allow you to use your swipes or meal exchanges freely, there are no limits during any meal period.

Students are responsible for managing their own meal plans and should not allow anyone to have access to use their meals plans. Please note: The All-Access Plan does not allow swipes to be used for guest meals.

For added convenience, balances can be checked anytime through the Grubhub app on their phones.
