\n \n Meal Plan Terminology\n \n \n \n <\/svg>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/button>\n <\/h3>\n \n \n
\n

The unlimited meal plan<\/strong> means that you can eat in the dining hall whenever and as many times you want. For example, you could eat a late breakfast during the official “lunch” time and still come in for a later lunch during the same “lunch” time.<\/p>\n

A meal exchange<\/strong> means that you can apply the cost of a particular meal period (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to a purchase made at an on-campus dining facility like Einstein’s or the Coffee House for up to five purchases a week.<\/p>\n

Lion Dollars<\/strong> are similar to a debit account and can be used at any dining location on campus. Each time you make a purchase with your student ID card using Lion Dollars, the amount is automatically deducted from your account. Lion Dollars attached to meal plans expire each semester.<\/em> However, additional Lion Dollars, that never expire as long as you are a registered student at Queens, can be purchased any time by visiting the Dine on Campus office or by contacting Dining Services (704-688-2824).<\/p>\n\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n <\/component>\n\n\n
