MEAL PLAN
Meal Plan swipes can be used in
three different ways:
1. At Harden, upstairs McEwen or
upstairs Colonnades, the all-you-can-
eat dining halls, one swipe at the door
lets you in and you can eat whatever
you want, buffet-style.
2. At “grab and go”-style restaurants
such as Octagon, Croutons, Boar’s
Head, Fountain Market, Acorn or
downstairs McEwen, one meal plan can
buy you a combo meal with a number
of options. See the table for examples.
3. At convenience stores such as
downstairs McEwen or downstairs
Colonnades, you can use your meal
plan's cash equivalency, which is $2.50,
to pay for quick between-meals items.
As long as your total is under $2.50,
you can use one meal plan to pay. If it’s
- more, you can use multiple meals.
1.1
MEAL DOLURS
Each meal plan offered by Elon
Dining Services comes with a certain
number of meal dollars. The 19, 17,
14, 11 and 9 meals per week plans, for
instance, come with $200; $85 for fall
and spring and $30 for Winter Term.
Meal Dollars act like a “food debit
card” and can be used at any dining
hall on campus. Most students use
Meal Dollars for little purchases
between meals, such as snacks or gum
or a bottle of water.
If you want to stock up on food,
you can also use your Meal Dollars to
grocery shop at downstairs Colonnades
or downstairs McEwen.
Meal Dollars are especially
useful for paying at Elon’s sit-down
restaurants; Brown & Co., the 1889
Grill Room and Varsity. Just remember
that you can’t tip with meal dollars —
you have to use Phoenix Cash for that.

how to pay can get confusing.
COMBO EXAMPLES
At Octagon...
Dining tips
You receive each week’s
allotment of meals on
Wednesday. Any unused
meals from one week will roll
over into the next week until
the end of the semester.
You can use your meal
plan whenever you want -
there are no time limits. For
late-night dining, though.
Octagon and Acorn are your
best bets, since they’re open
until 1 a.m.
Changes to your meal plan
can be made through the sec
ond week of the semester.
Colonnades, McEwen and
Harden put on special meals
once or twice a month, such
as “Snack Attack” lunch or
“Oktoberfest Dinner.” See the
Dining Services Web site for a
full schedule.
