Frequently Asked Questions

You can swipe your ID card and use your block meals at Bruder Dining Center or through the meal exchange program at Knight’s Café.

Meal exchange can be used at Knight’s Café for breakfast from 10:00AM – 11:00M and for lunch from 2:00PM – 4:00PM.

There is a menu of selected items eligible for the meal exchange program posted in the café that you can choose from. Once you select your items from the menu of eligible items, head to the cashier to check out and let them know you want to “use a meal” when you swipe your card.

Dining dollars are accepted at Bruder Dining Center and Knight’s Café. They work like cash in these locations- just tell the cashier “use my dining dollars” when you check out. Since dining dollars expire at the end of the academic year, use them before your Neumann Points.

Neumann Points can be used in Bruder Dining Center, Knight’s Café, Sora Luna Lounge, campus vending machines, Knights Shoppe Campus Bookstore and/or participating off-campus sites. Students can add Neumann Points to their ID cards at any time in the semester. Neumann Points never expire and roll over year to year.

Resident students select their meal plan choice during room selection. If you are a student who is not automatically enrolled in a meal plan, you can purchase a meal plan by contacting the Business Office during regular business hours in 104 Bachmann Main Building.

Meal plans can only be adjusted within the first two weeks of the semester. You can change your meal plan selection by completing the meal plan change form through the Business Office.
