As a matter of policy, meal plans are non-transferable and the card holder must be present. To use a plan or declining balance, meals can be used by the card holder only, and Dining Dollars may be used for any guest meals

Understanding Your Plan

Meal Plans are set to begin on Thursday, August 14, 2025. The self-service portal will be open from early February until October 10th, 2025 (end of fall break) for changes to the Fall 2025 semester meal plans.

Students can make additions to their meal plans until October 10th, 2025 (end of fall break) for the Fall 2025 semester. After that date, students will need to contact reslife@valpo.edu to make any additions to the meal plan. To reduce unspent declining balance, the ability to add Dining Dollars and Commuter Plans will be deactivated as the term nears its end (December 8th, 2025).

Step-by-step instructions on adding/upgrading your meal plan can be found here. Beacon Bucks (which can be added through the DataVU portal) can be added anytime and do not expire at the end of the term.

Unused Block Meals and Dining Dollars will expire at the end of the semester.
