The account is valid everywhere your Campus Card is accepted (including food and copying/printing), and all funds carry over from year to year. Accepted at all Campus Card enabled locations, this is by far the easiest account to use. However, no discounts or tax exemptions apply to this plan. You have three options to make deposits – online (minimum $20), in person (minimum $5), or at our Cash 2 Card Machines (minimum $1).

This account holds the Dining Dollars that automatically come with your residence meal plan, and offers tax exemption and a 2% discount – a total of 15% savings on all purchases! This account is only valid at University Dining Services locations (for a list of all locations, please see our On-Campus Use page.) Deposits can not be made to this account, but can be made to your Dining Dollars Top Up account, which offers all the same benefits and restrictions. Please note:

• Once the account is zero, more money can be added to your Dining Dollars Top Up account – and all the applicable discounts and tax exemptions will be maintained.
• Money that comes with residence meal plans is divided by term. The amounts deposited are not equal, as they are pro-rated by the number of days in each term. Thus, if the fall term is longer, you will receive more money for this term.
• Refunds are not available for this account from the CampusCard Office. All residence meal plans and associated cash components are managed by the Housing Office

If this account reaches zero in the middle of a transaction, simply ask the cashier to swipe the card again and the Card will automatically start deducting funds from the next account with funds in it.

All remaining funds on this plan expire at the end of the school year (April 30th).

Introducing the new & improved Off-Campus Meal Plans!

Off Campus Meal Plans are available to students living off campus, Carleton staff/faculty, and students in residence who didn’t get a residence meal plan.

Off Campus Meal Plans are now easier to use, with no meal period restrictions and it’s now easier to keep track of how much you have left on your plan (simply check your account balance in the Campus Card Web Card Centre) – all while offering savings ranging from 5% up to 15%!

New this year to Carleton University is the All Access residence meal plan! The all access meal plan allows unlimited entry into the residence dining hall, giving students the freedom to come and go as they please, stop in for a meal, a quick snack, or just to meet up with friends. The plan is truly all access, no strings attached.

• For more information related to residence meal plans please visit Housing Carleton’s web page!
• Residence meal plans include a Dining Dollars portion that can be used outside the Fresh Food Company at any of the Dining Services locations on campus. Dining Dollars are tax exempt and also receive a 2% discount on all purchases, but can only be used to purchase food. The funds are split by term and pro rated based on the number of days in each term.
• Dining Dollars expire April 30th. Each time a student eats a meal, their meal count is reduced by 1 until they reach zero.
• Students can keep track of how many meals they have left each week through the Campus Card Web Card Centre.
• There are two deadlines for Residence Meal Plan changes – see the Housing web page for more information!
