Each meal plan has a pre-determined amount of meal swipes for your student. Meal swipes start on Saturday each week and end on the following Friday. Your student is allowed one meal swipe per meal period in Campus Dining. Your student is able to use Dining Dollars if they have exhausted their allotted swipes for the week. Meal swipes expire on the last day of each semester and do not rollover. Meal Swipes are non-transferable.
No. Meal swipes are only used in Campus Dining located in the Student Engagement Center. Your student can use Dining Dollars to pay for food item purchases at all other dining locations.
DCB stands for Declining Balance. On campus, we know DCB as Dining Dollars or Points. Each plan has an allotted dollar amount that your student is able to spend at any dining facility on campus. Dining dollars are loaded onto your student’s UIW ID at the beginning of the semester and acts as a debit card.
Dining dollars are accepted at Campus Dining, Hortencia’s, Starbucks, Luciano’s, Virtual Dining, On-The-Spot Vending and any Sodexo sponsored events. To make a purchase, your student will swipe their student ID at the register to pay for their items. The payment will be deducted from their allotted dollar amount.
Unused Dining Dollars will rollover from Fall semester to Spring semester, if your student is enrolled. If your student graduates in the Fall or if they are not enrolled for the Spring semester, Dining Dollars will not rollover. Unused Dining Dollars expire on the last day of the semester.
Dining hours are posted at each dining location and on Sodexo’s website: uiwdining.sodexomyway.com In addition, we will post hours on our social media pages throughout the semester should hours change for inclement weather or holidays.
