It is important to tell the cashier whether you want to use points or a meal so that you will be charged correctly. Points can be used at all the dining service locations and at the Bear Mart. They cannot be used at Bear Necessities or at the Bookstore. If you note your point balance the first time you use points, you will be able to tell by your balance. The entry next to plan no will denote the following.
Most students manage very well with the amount of meals and points on the available meal plans.
If you choose to eat all of your meals on campus, or if you use your card for snacks at The Bear's Mart or for non-food items, you may need to add more points to your account. You can do this through the Residential Life Center. Some students find that they have more points than they need. Students are allowed to transfer excess points from their account to another student's account. The student receiving the points must already be on a meal plan for the current school year and must use the points transferred by the end of Spring Semester.
