Service is available on campus until midnight. Board plan meals are served at The Marketplace in the East Union. The upper class dining plan is a declining balance points account. Additionally, Plan J is available for students living on Central Campus and Plan F for off-campus students. The only difference among the declining balance plans is the amount available to spend.
Funds remaining in a points account at the end of the fall semester carry over to spring semester.
Refunds are credited to the student's bursar account. Students living in campus residence halls must participate in the dining plan. Exemptions are given only for withdrawal from the university, moving off campus, medical requirements or religious conviction. The cost of meals is included in the university's calculations of financial need, and students receiving financial aid are not exempt. A participant requesting exemption from dining plan policies must make application to the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee.
