Summer Meal Plans
Hopkins Dining is offering summer meal plans for students residing in summer housing and for full-time students living off campus. Students will have the option of purchasing from three different Dining Dollars only plans, which will be added to their J-Card. Dining Dollars have a dollar-for-dollar value. For instance, purchasing a $6.00 meal costs six Dining Dollars. The summer meal plan dates are Tuesday, May 29- Saturday, August 5. Please note that the Meal Plan program is optional.

Summer Meal Plan Information
During the summer we offer Dining Dollars only plans to students who are taking classes this summer or doing research on campus (800 Dining Dollars, 500 Dining Dollars, and 300 Dining Dollars). Each time a student’s J-Card is swiped, Dining Dollars will be deducted from their available balance based on the amount of their purchase. Students should choose based on the number of meals they think they will eat and how long they will stay during the summer terms. For example: students planning to reside on campus for only one month, and who tend not to eat breakfast, should consider the 300 Dining Dollar plan.
Campus Dining Locations
All of our dining locations are open throughout the summer with various hours of operation modifications for summer service. Please see the hours of operation below. For additional information about each location including accessing menus for each location, visit the Where to Eat page.

How to enroll in a summer meal plan?
The plans can be purchased through the Housing Portal once the student signs their summer housing contract, or once the student arrives on campus. Summer meal plans begin Tuesday, May 30, enrollments before Friday, May 26 will be available for use on Tuesday. Enrollments after Friday, May 26 take 24-48 business hours to be added. A confirmation email from Hopkins Dining will be sent to the student when their meal plan is active and ready for use.
Students should keep in mind that they can always sign up for additional dining dollars but there is no refund on any unused dining dollars, nor do unused dining dollars carry over into the academic year. Students are not able to purchase the 100 Dining Dollars add-on unless they have already previously purchased one of the three meal plans.
For questions, please contact the Dining Office at 410-516-3383 or at HopkinsDining@jhu.edu.
What is the refund or cancellation policy?
The Dining Dollar plans are not refundable or transferable in part or entirety. Enrolling in a Dining Dollar Plan obligates the student for payment of the total price indicated in the agreement, and the plan cannot be changed. No refunds shall be granted to any students suspended or dismissed for disciplinary reasons. Special circumstances should be referred to HopkinsDining@jhu.edu.
How and when will I receive my Dining Card?
All meal plan subscribers are required to swipe their J-Card as they enter the dining halls to make a purchase. Students who are full-time registered Hopkins students who have J-Cash accounts can continue to use their J-Cash throughout the summer months to supplement the summer meal plans.
