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 full meal dining value, flexibility and convenience. Dining Options range from the Semester 300 to the Semester 75 “commuter’s choice,” and two Options for members of the Corps, to meet the dining needs of all students. To “Eat Any Where, Any Time,” purchase a Campus Dining Option for services that include:

To “Eat Any Where, Any Time,” purchase a Campus Dining Option for services that include:

• Use of up to two meals per location visit
• “All-you-care-to-eat” in Duncan and Sbisa Dining Centers
• Outbound Dining meal menus posted in over 30 diverse locations campus wide
• Hours daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to late night
• Convenience stores, national franchises and branded items
• Extensive variety and quality menu choices
• Special events, such as Aggie Muster Barbecue
• “Buy a Bundle” (of 10) and add more meals to current semester Dining Options
• Select a new Dining Option each semester/session
• Web site at food.tamu.edu for more campus dining information

With a Dining Option, students can choose “all-you-care-to-eat” in the Dining Centers, Outbound Dining meals in all other locations throughout campus or to dine using a combination of both. Up to two meals can be used per location visit. If more meals are needed to complete the semester, students may “Buy a Bundle” (in multiples of 10) as supplementary meals and add to a current Campus Dining Option.

Campus Dining Options are valid for one semester starting with the first day of campus move-in as designated by the Department of Residence Life and ending prior to the next semester/session begins.

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@food.tamu.edu.

To add a Dining Option, a student may make a selection during registration under Fee Options or through the Food Services website food.tamu.edu. Once meals have started for the semester, a student can no longer use the University registration process. To contact the Campus Dining Office for help, a student must come to the Pavilion in person (with their Aggie Card) or provide a written request (with name, ID number 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 Financial Services or using the AggiE-Pay website.

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*)	$1,465.50
*The Corps of Cadets Commandant’s Office requires that a specified number of meals be automatically deducted at the beginning of each semester for dining exclusively in Duncan Dining Center. Meals include breakfast-dinner Monday-Wednesday, breakfast and dinner on Thursday and breakfast on Friday (12 per week including “March-ins”) while classes are in session. Additional meal deductions may occur for FOW, SOW or other events under the direction of the Corps. Any meals remaining from the original total purchased after all requested meals are deducted may be utilized on campus as needed.

The student Aggie Card must be presented to Food Services’ cashiers for Dining Option or Aggie Bucks participation. According to University regulations, no one else is permitted to use or borrow 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. Any changes in Dining Options are permitted only through the fourth week of classes.

Campus Dining Options prices listed include 8.25% tax. All Dining Options and services are based on information available at time of printing and are subject to change. See food.tamu.edu, email dining@tamu.edu or call (979) 845-0152.
