Dining dollars are meal plan currency equivalent to $1. At BYU Dining Services locations, dining dollars grant holders tax-free purchases.
The dining dollars of a meal plan can be used at many locations across campus. You may reload more dining dollars onto your meal plan. Reloaded amounts automatically have a 10% discount. For example, you may reload a total of 55 dining dollars for $50.
