Campus Dining Options/Meals

Any student living off or on campus may choose a Campus Dining Option (meal plan) from Texas A&M University's Department of Food Services for the ultimate in convenience, flexibility and service. Dining Options range from the Semester 300 to the Semester 75 "commuter's choice," as well as those for members of the Corps, to meet the dining needs of all students.

To "Eat Any Where, Any Time," select a Campus Dining Option for the best value over à la carte dining with services that include:

• Outbound Dining Meals campus wide in such locations as Commons Food Court.
• Over 30 diverse locations
• Up to 19 hours daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner to late night
• Convenience stores, national franchises and branded items
• Extensive variety and quality menu choices
• " All-you-care-to-eat " and Guest Meals in Sbisa and Duncan Dining Centers
• Special events, such as Aggie Muster Barbecue
• Website at food.tamu.edu for menus, hours, Campus Dining Options and other information

Outbound Dining Meals are available through the purchase of a Campus Dining Option as an alternative to visiting a Dining Center. Outbound menus posted in ALL locations, such as Commons Food Court, allow access to meals campus wide.

The number of Guest Meals available equals the average of meals per week listed for the Dining Option selected. For example with the "Semester 300," use up to 20 of the total meals per semester for guests. Guest Meals are for use in Duncan (at lunch) and Sbisa Dining Centers only.

The Campus Dining Office can assist with Dining Options information and questions at any time during the semester. Fax (979) 458-1500, call (979) 845-0152 or email dining@tamu.edu.

To add a Dining Option, students may make a selection at registration under Fee Options or through the Food Services website food.tamu.edu. Once meals have started for the semester, students can no longer use the University registration process. If contacting the Campus Dining Office for help, students must come to the Pavilion in person (with Aggie Card) or provide a written request (with name, student UIN and chosen Option) by fax, web or email.

Once a Campus Dining Option has been added to a student account, the student is responsible for payment of the appropriate fee to the Office of Student Business Services.

The "Semester" Dining Options offer increased flexibility and allow students to purchase the one that best suits individual needs. Access to meals is available up to the number of meals purchased per semester.

Semester 300 (averages to 20 meals per week)	$1,623.75
Semester 240 (averages to 16 meals per week)	$1,506.84
Semester 180 (averages to 12 meals per week)	$1,178.84
Semester 150 (averages to 10 meals per week)	$1,022.96
Semester 105 (averages to 7 meals per week)	$727.44
Semester 75 (averages to 5 meals per week)	$527.72

Members of the Corps of Cadets must select one of the "Corps Semester" Dining Options and dine within Corps regulations.*

Corps Semester 300 (averages 20 meals per week*)	$1,623.75
Corps Semester 230 (averages 15 meals per week*)	$1,456.50
*The Corps of Cadets Commandant's Office requires 12 weekly meals, including "March-in," be automatically deducted for dining exclusively in Duncan Dining Center, approximately 171 each semester. At the request of the Corps, additional deductions may be made for such meals as FOW, SOW and/or special events. Meals remaining from the original total purchased may be utilized on campus as needed.

Student Aggie Cards must be presented to cashiers for Dining Option or Aggie Bucks participation. According to University regulations, no one else is permitted to use your Aggie Card. Therefore, Dining Options are non-transferable between students.

Meals not eaten do not carry forward to the next semester and are not refundable . The Department of Food Services uses the University's refund schedule for Tuition and Fee Adjustments (see ). Any changes in Dining Options are permitted only through the fourth week of classes.

Campus Dining Options, prices and services listed are based on information available at time of printing and are subject to change. Prices listed include 8.25% sales tax.
