Upperclass and Graduate Blue Jays living off-campus have the choice of any of our different plans depending on your preference or needs. We have small Dining Dollar and Block plans created to offer greater flexibility for those who might only be on campus a few days a week along with juggling a class and extracurricular workload. It has never been easier to have the convenance and flexibility of having a meal plan with your busy schedules.

Blue Jays can use their meal swipes at the Hopkins Café, Nolan’s on 33rd located in Scott-Bates Commons, Meals-in-a-Minute at the Charles Street Market or for meal exchange during dinner at Levering Kitchens. Dining Dollars can be used at any of our on-campus locations, including some of our on-campus partners.
