Dining Dollars may be used to purchase breakfast, lunch or dinner in the cafes on both east and west campuses or at any retail establishment, i.e., RAMS Hideaway, Golden Espresso, Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut, Rams Wrap or the Food Truck.

Dining Dollars may be purchased in increments of $100

Cancellations may be made within two business days from the initial day of activation without penalty. Starting the third business day from the initial activation of the meal plan, the meal plan is non-refundable and no refunds will be processed. If dining dollars were utilized, charges will be based on the actual expenditures through the cancellation date.

Access to the meal plan is through use of the RAM ID card at the cashier station of the dining hall or retail site. NO RAM ID CARD, NO MEAL! Replacement card fee for lost, stolen or damaged ID card is $25 per card.

Contracts received and paid in full will be processed and activated within three business days of receiving the contract.

Dining dollars DO NOT carry over to the next semester. Dining dollars must be used in the semester in which purchased. Additional dining dollars may be purchased throughout the semester. Dining dollars will not activate until all fees are paid in full. Dining dollar balances of $10.00 or more will be credited to the student account within 30 days from the last day of the semester.

The University reserves the right to adjust the types of meal plans offered and pricing structure of each meal plan prior to the beginning of each new semester/summer term. The University will provide faculty/staff with notice of any such changes as early as possible before the beginning of each new semester/summer term; however, meal plans and costs for each semester/summer term are subject to change without notice.

Meal plans must be paid in FULL via cash/check/debit/credit card payment or via payroll deduction authorization in order for the meal plan to be activated. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Employees may use payroll deduction to purchase a meal plan for Fall and Spring Semesters only. For employees on a bi-weekly payroll schedule, the deduction will be divided into two (2) payments per month. For those on a monthly payroll schedule, the deduction will be made in a single (1) payment per month.

Meal swipes remaining on an account in the event an employee terminates employment at ASU are non-refundable. If the method of payroll deduction is chosen, meal plan must be paid in full within the semester in which the plan is purchased. A maximum of three (3) payroll deductions will occur to ensure the meal plan is paid in full. Payment may be made at RAM Central on West Campus, 1st Floor or paid online.

Dining Dollar balances of $10.00 or more will be credited to the student account within 30 days from the last day of the semester.
