Campus Dining

Dining Dollars are funds loaded to a student’s Tiger Card ID that may be used to purchase food at any dining location on campus including food trucks, athletics concessions and the Hey Day Market.  Students may also use Dining Dollars to enter dining halls at retail rates.

Block meals are discounted entries into our two dining halls:  The Edge at Central Dining and the Village Tiger Zone.  They may be purchased by students living off-campus as part of a hybrid meal plan. Block meals may not be used at other dining locations.

Weekly meals provide students with a set number of meals per week to use at either Village Tiger Zone or The Edge at Central Dining AYCTE dining halls

Unused Dining Dollars are added to your spring semester dining dollars and expire at the end of the summer.  Undergraduate meals expire at the end of each semester.

Your fall meal plan will automatically renew at the same level for the following spring term. You may make a change during the first ten class days of the spring semester.

Weekly meals run Sunday – Saturday and expire late Saturday night. These expire at the end of each semester.

Block Meals do not roll – they expire at the end of each semester. 

Dining Dollars in additional accounts (Optional Dining Dollars or Tiger Club) never expire.

Additional Dining Dollars may easily be added at any time.  Info about Adding Dining Funds

Any money added may be placed into either an Optional Dining Dollars account or a Tiger Club account.

Optional Dining Dollars work exactly like regular Dining Dollars – these funds may be used at any on-campus food location, including food trucks and athletics concessions.

A Tiger Club account may be used for food anywhere on campus, but may also be used to purchase other things. Tiger Club funds may be used to make purchases  from the bookstore as well as participating off-campus retail locations.  List of participating retailers

The minimum deposit to these accounts is $25; funds may be added online or on your GET mobile app: Add Funds link

Please note that these funds never expire and may be refunded upon request.

Meals may only be used by the meal plan purchaser.  However, you may purchase your guest’s meal using your dining dollars.

Yes. However, you may not eat in the dining hall AND take a meal to-go during the same meal period.

Students with all-access plans must go back to the register and purchase a compostable to-go box after they’re finished their meal in the dining hall .

The to-go container may be filled with your choice of foods from the dining hall and must be fully closed when you leave.

It’s all about access to a variety of foods that you can customize to your taste.

Weekly and Block meals provide a discounted entry into the Village Tiger Zone and The Edge at Central Dining AYCTE dining halls.

These dining halls provide not only great places to eat a variety of foods, but are also popular destinations for socializing and studying. We offer a number of different meal plan options to allow you to choose one that suits you best.

Fraternity Meal Plan Reduction Information

Tiger Dining provides a reduced meal plan for students who live in on-campus residence halls and are members of a fraternity with a required meal plan.  There is no application required for this program. Greek Life provides a list of qualifying members to the Campus Dining office at the conclusion of each semester. Any credit will be automatically deposited to the student’s Student Financial Services (eBill) account after final exams are complete.

To be eligible, students must meet both of these qualifications:

• They must live in campus residence halls, owned and operated by University Housing.
• They must be a member of a fraternity that has a required meal plan providing at least 10 meals per week.

Note: Students who purchased an “All Access” unlimited plan are not eligible for the reduction.

How it works:

Only the dining dollars portion of the meal plan is eligible for a refund. If there are no dining dollars left, then there will be nothing to refund. However, if you are eligible for a refund, it will be made to your eBill account by the end of December (Fall) and the end of May (Spring).

Example:

A student is registered for the on-campus default 5 + $450 meal plan which provides 5 meal swipes weekly at the Village Tiger Zone or The Edge at Central Dining, plus $450 dining dollars that may be used at any retail dining location on campus.  The student also has a required fraternity meal plan for 10 meals each week at the fraternity house.  At the end of the semester, the student only used $275 of their $450 dining dollars, so they receive a credit of $175.

Tiger Dining’s Registered Dietitian, Kaiten Zajac, is a primary resource for students who have food allergies or special dietary needs. Kaiten enjoys meeting students and walking them through campus dining locations to make sure they are comfortable with food options when they arrive on campus. This may include meeting with chefs, dining area managers and other support staff, as well as sharing resources where recipe ingredients may be found. Our website menus and locations page is a great resource with information about menus, ingredients, and allergens. Additionally, both of our dining halls feature True Balance stations, where students can find foods made without the top 8 major food allergens. For more information about these locations or any questions, please reach out to Kaiten. She may be reached at zajac-kaiten@aramark.com. Or you may make an appointment to meet at:  aub.ie/DiningRD

Occasionally,  we’ll encounter a medical or religious dining situation that needs very special consideration.  We offer dining plan accommodations for students  who cannot dine on campus due to severe medical conditions, religious dietary restrictions and those who are enrolled at Auburn, but are away from campus for the semester.  If you qualify, submit your request here.  Dining Plan Accommodations

Dining Dollars account balances are visible on the register display each time your Tiger Card is used.  Students may check their account balances and transaction history via the GET mobile app (free for iOS and android phones).

Dining halls reflect University Housing schedules.  Dining Halls open for dinner on the main move-in day each semester, and close when residence halls are closed for breaks.
