Using Your Meal Plan

Entries can be used at both of our award-winning dining halls, The Commons (Kennesaw) and Stingers (Marietta) and at High Point Café, On the Fly and Revolution Pizza Express for Meal Plan Combo meals.. Any unused entries at the end of each week will expire and you will receive a fresh set of entries each Sunday until the end of the semester.


Dining Dollars  can be used at any restaurant across both campuses for sales-tax free food and beverage purchases. Dining Dollars are a declining balance and you will receive a new set of Dining Dollars each semester you live on campus. Any remaining Dining Dollars from the Fall will carry over to the Spring as well. All remaining Dining Dollars at the end of Spring will expire.
