Residents
Our resident meal plans are designed to meet the unique needs of students living in our traditional resident halls, who are required to purchase a meal plan. Our resident plans come with varying amounts of meal swipes to be used primarily in the TC Cafe, and Dining Dollars, which is a declining balance account similar to a debit card. Each plan also comes with a meal exchange option available at select retail dining locations for one entree, side and beverage option. Multiple resident meal plan options are available for you to choose from based on your dining preferences and needs.

Meal Exchange
One meal exchange equals one set meal containing an entrée, a side, and a drink.
Think of a meal exchange as your "ticket" to a meal at an event - they do not have a dollar value.
