Targeting your Points

We know that the ultimate goal of all students with Resident Dining Plans is to arrive at the end of the semester at about the same time as they arrive at the end of their dining plan Points. To help with this effort, we will keep you posted with an estimate of where your Point balance “should” be. Look in the entrance to each a la carte dining hall and by the registers for current estimates.

Note that the numbers are conservative estimates: they leave a safety cushion for if you choose to use more points per day toward the end of the semester, and they are calculated with the assumption that you’ll be on campus until the last day of finals week.
