TYPES OF MEAL PLANS

As with locations, Purdue Dining & Culinary offers a variety of meal plans for students’ varying schedules and budgets. Meals are loaded onto your student’s Purdue ID card, so it is always handy.

REVISED MEAL PLANS

Since meal service is changing a lot in order to comply with health and safety guidelines, our meal plans will be slightly altered in your favor for the 2020–2021 academic year. Take a look and compare. Rates are the same; you’re getting an extra meal (or two) from us! You will also be able to use up to 5 meal swipes per day.

The meal plans run Monday through Sunday each week of the semester. All meal plans reset Sunday night for the following week and unused meals will be forfeited. Visit dining.purdue.edu to view available meal plans.

DINING DOLLARS

Dining dollars are part of most plans and like meal plans, are loaded directly to a student’s Purdue ID card. These Dining Dollars may be spent for a variety of things across campus in any Purdue Dining & Culinary operation. Dining Dollars for all meal plans are distributed by semester, half in the fall and half in the spring. Unused Dining Dollars will carry over from fall to spring semester and will expire when the meal contract ends after finals week in May.

EACCOUNTS

The Purdue eAccounts portal lets your student manage their campus card account. Through eAccounts, students can: • View their online statements, meal transactions and Dining Dollars balance • Add funds to their BoilerExpress account • Activate or deactivate their accounts

Families can also make guest deposits using eAccounts. You just need your student’s first name, last name and Purdue email address.

BOILEREXPRESS DEBIT ACCOUNT

purdue.edu/card BoilerExpress is debit account that gives your student on-campus buying power for food, laundry and much more. It offers the convenient option of preloading funds to an online debit account that can be accessed with the swipe of their Purdue ID card at over 30 retail locations across campus.

Each time your student uses their BoilerExpress account, the amount of their purchase will be automatically deducted from their account. The BoilerExpress account will roll with your student from semester to semester and from year to year. The balance stays with them until they graduate or terminate all affiliations with Purdue.
