How do Dining Dollars work?
Bruder Dining Center, Knights Café, or twelve at the RAB accept Dining Dollars. They work like cash in these locations. Just tell the cashier “use my Dining Dollars” when you check-out. Since Dining Dollars expire at the end of the academic year, use them before you use your Neumann Points.
Where can I use Neumann Points?
Neumann Points are accepted at all campus dining locations, campus vending machines, at the Knight's Shoppe Campus Bookstore, and at several vendors off-campus. In addition, they will soon be accepted at the Sora Luna Lounge in Flynn Hall once that student-run café opens for business. Neumann Points never expire and rollover from year to year. Unused balances can be refunded upon graduation or departure from Neumann.

When do my Dining Dollars expire?
Use your Dining Dollars throughout the semester. Unused balances from the Fall Semester rollover to be used in the Spring Semester. However, all unused Dining Dollar balances at the conclusion of the spring semester will expire. Unlike Neumann Points which never expire, it’s recommended that you use your Dining Dollars fully each semester.
When do my Neumann Points expire?
Neumann Points never expire and rollover from year to year. Unused balances can be refunded upon graduation or departure from Neumann.
Why don’t my unused Block Meals rollover from semester to semester?
Students are encouraged to budget their meals appropriately throughout the semester. Block Meals do not rollover from semester to semester. The pricing for Block Meal plans is based upon usage for a specific semester. In large part, this is so that we can accurately plan menus, food purchasing, and staffing of our dining locations to best serve our students.
How do I sign up for a meal plan?
All residential students are required to maintain a meal plan. Resident students select their meal plan choice on their Housing Application.
How can I change my meal plan?
Meal plan adjustments can only be made up until the first Friday of the semester. You can change your meal plan selection by completing the Meal Plan Change Form through the Business Office.
Do I have to purchase a meal plan each semester?
All residential students must maintain a meal plan each semester they reside in campus housing.
I’m a commuter student, do I need a meal plan?
All first-year commuter and transfer students are required to enroll in a meal plan during their first year at Neumann.
What if I have dietary restrictions, will Campus Dining be able to accommodate me?
Our trained culinary staff take seriously dietary needs and restrictions of our community. Reach out directly to the Director of Dining Services, Ms. Rita Webster, at WEBSTERR@neumann.edu to learn how your food allergies or dietary restrictions can be accommodated while at Neumann.
How can I explore receiving an exemption from participating in a meal plan?
Requests for meal plan exemption due to a medical or disability can be communicated to Dr. Jennier Labowitz, Director of Accessibility Services at labowitj@neumann.edu. Requests for a meal plan exemption due to a religious reason should be emailed to reslife@neumann.edu.
How do I share my opinion about dining or get more involved?
Join Culinary Council! Culinary Council is made up of a group of 10-15 students who meet monthly over a meal to learn about new initiatives and programs underway in dining and provide their feedback on what they love or what they want changed. In addition, Culinary Council members take on secret-shopper assignments between meetings where they provide feedback to our Dining Services team in order to improve the student experience across all our dining locations. They are among first students to taste new products and to hear what new in dining. More information is available at the Involvement Fair at the start of each semester.
I’m a parent and I have a question about meal plans, who can I contact?
Parents can always reach out to Neumann via email at PARENTS@neumann.edu with any questions throughout the year.
