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.

Meal swipes are discounted entries into our two dining halls:  The Edge at Central Dining and the Village Tiger Zone.  They may be purchased  as part of a hybrid meal plan. Meal swipes may not be used at retail dining locations.

Meal swipes may also be used to purchase a meal at Foy on the Fly (opening Fall 2024), or to purchase a whole pizza (limit one per day) via Grubhub’s Tiger Zone To Go.

A block of meal swipes may be purchased for use as a student desires during the semester.   Block meals expire at the end of each semester.

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.

If you want your meal to go, please request a to-go box when you use a meal swipe to enter the dining hall. You must fill the box, close it and exit the dining hall. You may not eat out of a to-go container while sitting in the dining hall.

If you want to eat in the dining hall AND get a meal to go, you must go back to the register and use another meal swipe to purchase a compostable to-go box after you’ve finished your 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 and the ability to customize to your meals according to your preference.

Weekly and Block meal swipes provide a discounted entry into the Village Tiger Zone and The Edge at Central 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.

Meal swipes may also be used to purchase a meal at Foy on the Fly (opening Fall 2024), or to purchase a whole pizza (limit one per day) via Grubhub’s Tiger Zone To Go.

Fraternity Meal Plan Reduction Information

Tiger Dining offers a meal plan reduction for First-time First-year Auburn students or upperclassmen living on campus who 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 be an Auburn student participating in an Orange or Blue meal plan.
• They must be a member of a fraternity that has a required meal plan providing at least 10 meals per week.

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 Orange 5 + $450 dining dollars 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 his $450 dining dollars, so he receives a credit of $175 to his eBill account.

Tiger Dining’s Registered Dietitian is a primary resource for students who have food allergies or special dietary needs. Our dietitian 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 another great resource of menu information, ingredients, and allergens. Additionally, both of our dining halls feature True Balance stations, where students can find foods made without the top 9 major food allergens. For more information about these locations or any questions, please reach out to 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.  Away from campus can mean the student is working a CO-OP rotation, an Internship, studying abroad or taking all online classes.  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.
