Café Credits Plans
If you’re looking for flexibility, like using A La Carte locations, bringing in a friend, or dining outside traditional hours, choose a plan with a combination of Classic meals and Café Credits. You can use your Café Credits to pick up a quick bagel or sandwich on the go, or choose to meet your friends later in the evening for pizza and hot sandwiches. You can also use your Café Credits to purchase additional Classic meals or bring guests to a meal.

For the ultimate flexibility, choose the All Café Credits Plan. The All Café Credits Plan gives you the most flexibility in how and where you dine. The plan allows you to customize the number of Classic meals and A La Carte meals you wish each day. Still hungry? Add Extra Credits to your i-card anytime.

And if you’re not hungry this week? No problem. If you choose a plan with Café Credits, you may roll over a maximum of one week’s worth of your plan’s Café Credits to the following week, to a maximum balance of double your weekly allotment. The Extra Credits you add to your i-card account never expire.

Classic Plans
If you eat most of your meals in a residence hall dining room during traditional meal hours, choose a Classic Plan. Classic plans allow you to eat up to three all-you-care-to-eat meals a day—one breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner—up to the total of meals per week you choose (14 or 20). If you think you’ll choose an A La Carte meal once in a while or treat a friend, add Extra Credits to your i-card account anytime.

A La Carte
Just want a muffin and juice? Want a late-night pizza? A La Carte locations are for you. You can take your meal to go, or have a seat and stay awhile. Items in these locations are priced individually in credits, so you pay only for the items you choose.
