Dining JMU Dining boasts an award-winning culinary program landing at the top of Princeton Review’s list for more than 20 years running. Dining is an integral part of campus life, and we look forward to providing a memorable experience. With more than 30 restaurants to choose from, JMU Dining has something for everyone, offering convenience, flexi- bility, quality, value and healthy options with you in mind. Dining on campus provides the social experience essential to campus life, whether gathering with friends, taking study breaks or to relax and unwind. Meal Plan Basics A meal plan unlocks delicious meals, snacks, beverages and more. Explore our meal plan options, available to residents and commuters. Each plan offers Meal Punches and Dining Dollars. Both are conve- niently loaded onto your JACard so there’s no need to carry additional cards or cash.

Dining at a Glance MEAL PUNCHES are included with a meal plan, with a designated amount available depending upon your plan. They reload daily or weekly and can be used in three different ways. Meal Punches give you all-you-care-to-eat access at our resident dining halls, E-Hall and D-Hall. They can also be used for a meal equivalency or ‘Duke Deal’, only available at select retail locations. DINING DOLLARS can be used at any JMU Dining location as a declining dollar balance loaded for the semester. Enjoy the conve- nience of using them at dining halls, retail locations, convenience stores, concessions and on-campus vending machines. Unused Dining Dollars at the end of the fall semester roll over to the spring. However, any remaining funds at the end of the spring semester are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to the next term. ALLERGIES OR SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS? At JMU Dining we recognize and accommodate food allergies, preferences, and special dietary needs in a way that’s personalized, sensitive, and supportive. In fact, our employees undergo certified allergy training, and we pride ourselves on working with you to make sure you can make informed food choices. Visit our website for a detailed guide to navigating food allergies and special dietary restrictions. SUSTAINABLE DINING We consistently strive to become more sus- tainable by embedding environmental stewardship in our everyday operations. Our programs and policies include the increase of sus- tainable food purchasing, educating and empower students to lead a sustainable lifestyle, prioritize circularity and reduce food waste. Together we can make a positive impact on both people and the planet.
