Please check with your family member/friend to see where they stand on their meal plan!

 
Changing the Meal Plan Level
You may change your meal plan level in eLiving anytime until seven days before the last day of finals. Students who lower their level will have the difference credited to their student account. If you wish to increase your meal plan, it is recommended that you add dining dollars rather than purchase a higher level. This will eliminate excess dining dollars at the end of the semester and allow you to better manage your account.

Leftover Dining Dollars
If you have leftover dining dollars from fall semester, the funds will carry over to spring semester only if you purchase a new meal plan within the first two weeks of spring semester. You may purchase a lower level for spring. Spring meal plans may be changed in eLiving after the first day of spring semester. Residents are required to purchase a meal plan for both fall and spring semesters. If you do not purchase another plan by the end of the second week of spring semester, any leftover dining dollars from fall will be forfeited. Leftover dining dollars do not carry over from spring semester and are forfeited.

A message from The Mill:

Don’t Go Hungry! Check Your Balance.

Please talk with your student. It saves them and you money!

With the many dining options offered on campus, making your meal plan last a full semester can be challenging. It’s not only important to monitor where and how you’re spending your meal plan dollars, but also to keep track of your account balance. Below are some tips to help ensure that you don’t run out before move out.

1. Choosing meals prepared at the Mill rather than prepackaged retail items gives you the best value with a 65% discount off the cash price.
2. Consider buying fountain beverages where possible instead of the more expensive bottled options.
3. Thirsty? Keep a water bottle with you and become a frequent user of the free filtered water stations in the residence halls and around campus.
4. If you are a coffee drinker, use a coffee mug to receive a discount on coffee and participate in the coffee club to receive free ones.
5. Let your friends pay for their own lunches or dinner. Wondering how many dining dollars you have left? Check your balance. It’s easy! Simply visit www.eLiving.psu.edu.
