Dining Dollars All students with meal plans have Dining Dollars or meals that can be converted to Dining Dollars. Students on the Maverick Anytime Plan receive 100 Dining Dollars each semester, students on the Maverick 14 Plan receive 200 Dining Dollars each semester, students on the Maverick 160 Plan receive 25 Dining Dollars each semester, and students on the 250 Dining Dollars Plan receive 250 Dining Dollars each semester. Students on the Maverick 160 Plan have the option to convert meals to Dining Dollars at a rate of $6.15 Dining Dollars for one meal. Once converted, Maverick 160 Dining Dollars may not be converted back to meals. (See information under “Meal Plans” for rules about converting meals to Dining Dollars.) Using Dining Dollars, you can make purchases in all University Dining Services locations by presenting your MavCARD to the cashier. Your purchase is deducted from your account and your current balance is shown on the receipt. If you are unsure of your current balance ask a cashier to scan your card. Balances can be displayed without making a purchase. Students may also check their balance online at link.mnsu.edu/balance. Whenever your balance runs low, you can add Dining Dollars to your account. Dining Dollar balances on the Maverick Anytime, Maverick 14, and Maverick 250 Dining Dollar Plans remaining at the end of Fall Semester will carry over to the Spring Semester, but do not carry over to the next academic year. Converted Dining Dollar balances on the Maverick 160 plan remaining at the end of Fall Semester do not carry over to Spring Semester and do not carry over to the next academic year. You are welcome to use your Dining Dollars to purchase a meal for your friends, however, you may not give your MavCARD to a friend to make purchases for you. University Dining Services is not responsible for someone using a MavCARD that is lost or stolen.
