Using Your Card On Campus

Resident Dining Plan

For the 2009-2010 academic year, students living in a campus residence hall choose either the Basic (1,203 points), Preferred (1,381 points), Junior/Senior (822 points), or Apartment (173 points) quarterly dining allowance which is then automatically placed on their card. This plan offers an 9.25% savings on purchases made anytime throughout the quarter at:

  • Market Square Food Court
  • Mission Bakery Café
  • Cadence Cyber Café
  • Sunstream Café
  • Cellar Market Convenience Store
  • The Bronco

Resident Dining Plans expire on the Sunday following the quarter end. For the Fall and Winter quarters, any unused allowance up to 65 points will be carried forward for use in the following quarter with any unused allowance in excess of 65 points being forfeited. At the end of Spring quarter however, any unused points will be forfeited.

Dining Plus Plan

Any student living off campus or a resident student wishing to augment his basic Resident Dining Plan may open a Dining Plus Plan for on campus dining with a deposit of any amount. A Dining Plus Plan remains open throughout enrollment and offers an 9.25% savings on all food purchases anytime (at all of the same places listed above).

For more information regarding SCU dining options and venue hours please visit www.scu.edu/diningservices

An unused balance in a Dining Plus Plan is not transferable and is non-refundable.
