Meal Plan Basics
Depending on the level you choose, you’ll receive a set number of meal swipes each week. Meal swipes are mainly used at the buffet-style dining commons, but some retail dining locations offer a meal swipe equivalency — a set meal you can order in the Grubhub app at places like Bell Tower, Market Street at MacCracken, Patio Grill, Coaches Corner, and Martin Grill.
All markets also offer a Meals To Go program, where you can use one swipe for a ready-to-go breakfast, lunch, or dinner, including an entrée, side, and a drink.
Unused meal swipes do not roll over from week to week. Students on the Diplomat Minimum, Plus, and Standard plans receive a special bonus week — an extra week’s worth of swipes that do roll forward throughout the semester.
Your meal plan also includes Dining Dollars, which can be used at various dining locations on campus. For continuing students, any unspent Dining Dollars automatically transfer to your plan for the next semester. We recommend monitoring your balance regularly and budgeting carefully, especially if you plan to add more funds before the end of the semester. Meal plan balances can be checked in your digital wallet or by logging into the WebCard Center.
Meal plans are designed to give you flexible dining options all semester long. If your current plan isn’t the right fit, you can change it until the first day of the semester (fall and spring) by logging into your housing portal or contacting the Campus Services Center at CampusServicesCenter@MiamiOH.edu.
Meal swipes are primarily used at the buffet-style dining commons, where one swipe covers all-you-care-to-eat food and drink during your visit. If you run out of meal swipes, you can still pay with a bonus swipe, Dining Dollars, or a credit/debit card.
Locations:
- Garden Dining Commons
- Maplestreet Dining Commons
- Western Dining Commons
Select campus dining locations offer hot meals that can be ordered ahead using a meal swipe in the Grubhub app. These convenient options give students added flexibility to enjoy quick, satisfying meals on the go. Look for the meal swipe equivalent menu when ordering in the Grubhub app or at a kiosk inside the dining location.
Locations (these locations have meal swipe equivalent options, but you can purchase other food items with Dining Dollars):
- Athenian Grill, Southwest Express, and Tower Grill at Bell Tower
- MacCracken Grill
- Patio Grill
- Martin Grill and Coaches Corner at Scoreboard Market
For quicker on-the-go options, all market locations offer Meals To Go that can be purchased with one meal swipe. Meals To Go are available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and includes the choice of any Sprig & Sprout entrée (marked with a green sticker), piece of fruit or 1.5 oz. bag of any flavor Frito-Lay chips, and Miami bottled water. Made-without-gluten options are also available.
Locations:
- Dividends
- Emporium
- Greystone
- Market Street at MacCracken

Locations:

MUlaa is a separate account from your meal plan that can be used for non-food purchases at campus markets and vending machines. It cannot be used for meals or food at dining locations.
Skip the lines and save time by ordering ahead at select campus dining locations through the Grubhub app, including favorites like Bell Tower and the dining concepts inside Armstrong Student Center. New users can receive 50% off their first on-campus order, up to $7, with code FIRSTBITE50. With helpful features like menu browsing, order tracking, and meal customization, Grubhub makes campus dining quick and convenient.
To use your meal plan in the app, select “On-Campus Dining” and choose Miami University of Ohio as your campus. Then, link your Miami ID to access your meal swipes and Dining Dollars right from the app.
