Main Campus Meal Plan FAQs

***This content does NOT apply to the Wausau/Marshfield Campuses

What are Dawg Dollars?
​Dawg Dollars are part of your dining plan and can only be used for food items from on-campus Dining and Summer Conferences (DSC) locations: DUC Food Court, Homegrown Café, Common Grounds Café, Lower DeBot Marketplace and Upper DeBot Dining Hall. Purchases made with Dawg Dollars are tax exempt.

How do I purchase a meal plan?
​If you live in a residence hall (other than Suites@201 and Hyer Hall) you will sign up for a meal plan when you complete your housing contract. Suites@201, Hyer Hall and off-campus students may purchase a meal plan at the PointCard Office at any time during the semester with cash, check, or by billing their student account. (Meal plans can also be purchased online using this webform - the only payment option for this is by billing the student account.)

May I use my meal plans for guests?
​You may use your Dawg Dollars to treat accompanying guests at all of the DSC locations. All guest purchases will be deducted from your current balance. 

Where can I use my Dawg Dollars?
​Dawg Dollars can be used at the DUC Food Court, Homegrown Café, Common Grounds Café, Lower DeBot Marketplace and Upper DeBot Dining Hall.

How will the cashier know that I am using Dawg Dollars?
​Please tell the cashier how you intend to pay: Dawg Dollars or credit/debit card. Also, tell the cashier if you have any guests. The cashier can also do an inquiry on your card to let you know your current balance.

What if my schedule conflicts with the dining schedule occasionally?
​If your schedule occasionally makes it difficult to eat at the DSC locations, you may want to schedule a sack lunch. Sack lunches should be scheduled at least 72 hours in advance at Bag Lunch Request. 

How do I cancel my meal plan?
​Residence Hall students that leave the university during the semester will have their meal plan cancelled by Residential Living. For specifics see the Residential Living Handbook. Off-campus students and residents of the Suites need to visit the PointCard Office to sign a refund request form. 

What if I have Special Diet Restrictions?
​​DSC can help you with your meal plan selection and any special diet requests. Please contact our Registered Dietitian to discuss your needs. Meal plans exemptions will only be considered with medical documentation and after meeting with the Registered Dietitian.
