Students who receive the required Bronze Plan have the ability to upgrade their plan for the fall semester through the end of the add/drop registration period.
The dining plan is not meal-based. It is based on a declining balance system, similar to a debit card account. All items in the dining facilities are sold a la carte. Students pay for each item just as they would in a traditional restaurant.
The dining plan can be used at all dining locations on our 3 campuses. These locations include Cafe Q, Bobcat Den, North Haven Cafe, North Haven Outtakes, York Hill Cafe, Au Bon Pain Cafe Express, Starbucks, On the Rocks and the M&T Bank Arena concessions.
We offer 24 unique food stations across our 3 campuses, serving options such as grilled food, smoothies, Starbucks and sushi.
Students can complete a mobile order by using the Transact mobile ordering app.
Students can access their meal plan and Q-Cash balances at the registers at campus dining facilities, online on the Q-Card Balance page on MyQ, or via the eAccounts app.

Budget guidelines week-by-week appear on posters at the registers and on the meal plan budgets and staying on track page of this website indicating what the ideal dining balance should be each week of the semester.
The dining facilities accept Q-Cash and credit cards. Q-Cash acts as a debit account separate from the student's meal plan, and Q-Cash can be added to a student's account at any time by the student or a someone making a guest deposit on their behalf. In addition to each dining location on our 3 campuses, Q-Cash is accepted at numerous establishments in the surrounding area.
Any balance left over from the Fall semester will automatically roll over to the Spring semester. Meal points are cleared at the conclusion of the Spring semester and any leftover balance is forteited.
We are committed to accommodating students with food allergies and other dietary concerns. Learn more about gluten-friendly, vegan and allergy-friendly options available on all three campuses and how to request a dietary accommodation on the dietary restrictions page of our website.
