Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><\/div>
\n
Am I required to purchase a Dining Plan?<\/summary>
\n
\nThe UWSP Housing Contract requires that all students living on campus (except for Hyer Hall and the Suites @201) have a meal plan. The students living in Hyer Hall and the Suites @ 201 are considered Off Campus and can still purchase meal plans through our webform<\/a>.\n\nA dining plan waiver may only be granted for documented medical conditions. If you would like to request an exemption, please submit a Dining Plan Exemption Request Form<\/a> to University Dining. Dining has a wide variety of food options and plans available, so exemptions are rare. Submissions of the form do not always guarantee approval.\n

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
Can I use a dining plan without my Point Card?<\/summary>
\n
\nFor security reasons, we will not manually type in your ID without your ID present. If you have a valid PointCard that is not readable, we will manually type it in for ONE meal and you will be REQUIRED to get this corrected at IT services.\n\nYou can pick up a temporary meal card for short term use in the event you are having issues getting a PointCard. For more information, contact UWSP Dining at University.Dining.Mealplan@uwsp.edu<\/a>\n

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
When does my dining plan begin and end?<\/summary>
\n
\nDining plans begin and end each semester. On-campus students have a Housing contract, so the same Meal Plan will be assigned for Spring Semester unless changed via the Housing Portal. Off-Campus students need to purchase a new meal plan each semester via the webform. Fall and Spring semester dining plans begin on move-in day. They typically end after lunch on the last day of exams during both semesters. For other breaks and holidays, please watch academic year specific announcements.\n

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
How do I change a dining plan?<\/summary>
\n
\nChanges to meal plans are only allowed until the deadline set by Housing. An email will be sent out with instructions pertaining to this.\n

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
How are special\/restricted diets handled?<\/summary>
\n
\nUniversity Dining has a Registered Dietitian on staff. We will work with you to create options that will meet your needs while dining here at UW-Stevens Point. Visits with our dietitian are at no additional cost. Schedule an appointment with Jennifer Hanlon RDN, CD. by email at University.Dining.Dietitian@uwsp.edu<\/a><\/span>\n

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
What happens if I lose my PointCard?<\/summary>

\nYou can deactivate your PointCard by marking it LOST via the GET App. If you find after marking it LOST, contact the PointCard office and they can revalidate your card. If it remains lost, you will need to purchase a new PointCard for a $20 fee by visiting the PointCard office. You are responsible for reporting missing cards. The University is not responsible for the loss meals or Dawg Dollars because of unreported cards. There is a charge for getting a replacement card.\n

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
How do I check how many Dawg Dollars I have left on my PointCard?<\/summary>

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

How can I look at the menu before I go to a dining area?<\/summary>

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
Can I buy a meal plan if I live off campus?<\/summary>
\n

\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n
How do I purchase more Dawg Dollars?<\/summary>
