Important Reminders:

Discount Dollars do not activate a discount for prepackaged goods, bottled beverages, or at vending machines. Meal plan students should add Munch Money or Podium Dollars onto their ID Card to pay for these items. Munch Money and Podium can be added via the CBORD Mobile ID App or online at any time. If you have any questions, contact [email protected]

Discount Dollars and Munch Money rollover from fall to spring. Any unused funds will expire at the end of the spring semester. Familiarize yourself with the Discount Dollars usage guide to help budget your spending for next semester. 

Access to State and Indigenous Quad dining rooms require vaccination compliance, and a valid meal plan or campus funds for payment. No cash or credit cards will be accepted at these venues.

Download the GET Food App to order your food from the Campus Center ahead of time and skip the lines!
