Campus Dining

Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars are funds loaded to your Tiger Card ID that may used to purchase food on campus.  They may be used at any Tiger Dining facility, including food trucks, athletics concessions and the Hey Day Market.  You may also use dining dollars for entry into our dining halls – you’ll simply pay the retail rate.

Any dining dollars remaining on your account at the end of the fall semester will roll to the following spring semester.

Any dining dollars left at the end of the spring semester will be usable until the last class day of the academic year (the end of the summer term).

Meal Swipes

With a variety of healthy options and a lower cost per meal, a meal swipe grants you entry to our dining halls, Village Tiger Zone, Wellness Kitchen, and The Edge at Central Dining. Meal swipes allow students to access these facilities over the course of the semester during normal hours of operation. These dining halls always offer a variety of foods; allowing you to create a plate according to what you’re craving at the moment.  Menus are available online for your convenience. Please note that any unused meal swipes expire at the end of each semester.

Meal swipes may also be used to purchase a meal at Foy on the Fly’s CAM location or the Roaming Tiger Food Truck (opening Fall 2026), or to purchase a whole pizza (limit one per day) via Grubhub’s Tiger Zone To Go.

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.

• Meal swipes may be used at any meal period.
• Meal swipes may be used at the Village Tiger Zone and The Edge at Central Dining. Meal swipes may also be used to purchase a meal at Foy on the Fly, or to purchase a whole pizza (limit one per day) via Grubhub’s Tiger Zone To Go.
• meal swipes expire at the end of each semester.

Weekly Meal Swipes

Weekly meal swipes guarantee dining hall access for the entire semester at a lower cost per meal. Weekly meal swipes begin on Sunday morning and reload for the next week after evening service on Saturday night. These meal swipes provide access to the Village Tiger Zone and The Edge at Central Dining. Both dining halls always offer a variety of healthy and favorite foods; allowing you to create a plate according to what you’re craving in the moment.  Menus are available online for your convenience. 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. Please note that any unused meals expire at the end of each week.

Weekly meal swipes run Sunday morning – Saturday night. Once you’ve used your 5 or 10 meals for the week, you will need to either use dining dollars to pay for your meal or wait until the next Sunday morning for more meals to be available.

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.

Changing your dining plan

During the first 10 class days of the semester, you may make one meal plan change per day.  Every meal plan change will be reflected on your eBill. 

To change your plan, see directions here

After the 10th class day, no changes may be made.

Adding Dining funds

Many students completely use their dining funds by mid-semester, so we do our best to make adding funds quick and easy. These additional dining funds are available via your Tiger Card – just like the regular dining plans.  These funds NEVER EXPIRE and you may request a refund at any time.  Add Funds via GET Mobile

There are two options for adding dining dollars:

Optional dining dollars are exactly like any other dining dollars.  They may be used to purchase food at any on-campus dining location, including food trucks, athletics concessions, and the Hey Day Market.

Tiger Club funds  are also available via your Tiger Card, but offer a bit more flexibility.  These funds may be used to purchase food anywhere on campus and at participating retailers in the local community.  Participating Locations List

**When you are near the end of your regular dining dollars, place your next order via Grubhub.  Grubhub will drain your regular dining dollars, then open the optional account to complete the purchase. Once your regular dining dollars account is empty, your optional funds will be used at all campus locations.

Sometimes things happen that are beyond our control.  If you’ve registered for classes but will be unable to attend Auburn during a particular semester, you’ll need to let us know.  Simply send an email to dining@auburn.edu sharing your name, 90# and an explanation that you will not be attending classes at Auburn.  We’ll watch your account, and when your withdrawal is approved and processed, unused dining funds will be refunded to your Student Financial Services (eBill) account.

With many dining locations throughout campus, you have convenient, fast and easy access to a variety of good foods.  You may spend your dining dollars at any campus food truck, retail dining location, dining hall, The Hey Day Market, vending machines or athletics concessions.

Whether you want to hang out at the dining hall or grab a quick sandwich as you’re sprinting between classes, we’re ready to serve you!  

Our dining halls offer a variety of healthy and favorite foods; allowing you to create a plate according to what you’re craving in the moment.  These dining halls are located at the Village Tiger Zone, the Wellness Kitchen and The Edge at Central Dining.  Menus are available online for your convenience.

Dining halls offer a wide variety of freshly-prepared foods.  Entrees change daily, and if you’re not in the mood for what’s being served at one location, other dining halls will be serving different entrees. Dining halls offer the biggest bang-for-the-buck on campus.  You may use Meal Plan Dining Dollars, Block Meal Swipes, Weekly Meals Swipes, All-Access Meal Swipes, debit or credit to pay for your dining hall entry.  If you enjoy variety, consider purchasing meals swipes, which offer a discount off dining hall retail door prices. **Please note that our dining locations are cashless.

Our full-time registered dietitian (RD) is available to help you find appropriate food options on campus as well as to provide one-on-one support if you have special dietary needs.  Our RD played a key role in creating the menus at the True Balance Allergen Solutions Stations in our dining halls which serve a menu free from the top nine food allergens and gluten (No wheat, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, or gluten). If you’d like to connect with our registered dietitian, you may do so at:  aub.ie/DiningRD  Occasionally, we encounter a student whose special circumstances warrant a dining plan accommodation: due to medical necessity, being away from campus, or religious restrictions that cannot be accommodated in our dining facilities.

After meeting and discussing your situation with our dietitian, you may request a dining plan accommodation:  either a dining plan reduction or a dining plan exemption, based on your particular circumstances.    Accommodations

You will need to complete the exemption application process by the 10th class day of each semester unless you have a newly-diagnosed medical condition.

Students who work internships often receive class credit for those internship rotations, and class credit automatically triggers a dining charge to your eBill account. If you’re far away from campus, there’s a simple, online process to have the charge removed, simply complete an accommodation application:

Accommodations

You will need to complete this process by the 10th class day of each semester to receive your accommodation.
