Dining Dollars make it easy and convenient to grab a bite on campus while also saving you money. Anyone can purchase Dining Dollars, which are accepted at all UNH Dining establishments and in campus vending machines.
When you make purchases using Dining Dollars, the amount of your transaction is subtracted from your total balance. The perk is that when you use Dining Dollars to purchase items at Dining locations, you get a 5% discount at the register. There are no fees of any kind associated with the account. The balance carries from the fall to spring semester. Any balance remaining at the end of meal service in May will be forfeited.
When you purchase a Premier or Campus Plan, your Dining Dollars are added to your UNH ID card, which then acts like a debit card. Dining Dollars accounts can be opened at any time during the year. You can add as much or as little money as you want to your ID card any time during the year.
Visit the Change Your Plan page and follow the links to change or order a meal plan.
Where can I use my Dining Dollars?
Dining Dollars are accepted at Union Court, Wildcatessen, Philbrook Café, Albert's, Zeke's Café, UNH Dairy Bar, CornerStone 1926 and all dining halls. They also can be used at Dunkin Donuts and in most on-campus vending machines, as well as for online and mobile orders.
How do I make deposits?
There are several convenient and easy options for Faculty, Staff, and Students to add Dining Dollars to their account.
- Dining Dollars can be purchased through the eAccounts Transact portal and the eAccounts app which can be found on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Family or friends can make online deposits into student accounts using our “Guest Deposit” feature by entering the student's first name, last name, and the student's ID number.
- Students can add Dining Dollars through the Housing Portal. Charges will be billed to the student’s account through Webcat (same as tuition).
- Using a credit or debit card, Dining Dollars can be added at one of our convenient Wildcat Deposit Centers located on campus at the Dimond Library and at the Wildcatessen (at Stillings Hall).
How long do my Dining Dollars remain active?
Dining Dollars are valid during the academic year of purchase only. A balance will carry from the fall semester to the spring semester and is valid until the end of the meal service in May. Any remaining balance expires and is nonrefundable. Customers are encouraged to spend their balance by the end of the spring semester.
How do I protect my balances?
Your card can be suspended by going to your MyUNH Portal account. Click on the Cat's Cache tab and choose Card Services and Deactivate Card. You may also call the Campus Services office during normal business hours at (603) 862-1821 to suspend your card. Only the balance on the card at the time the card was suspended can be protected.
