Block Meals
Block meals provide the student access to the Grier Dining Hall, our all you care to eat venue on campus.
Bearcat Bucks
Bearcat Bucks can be used at all venues on campus. Students can add DB to their account by calling 364.388.8416 or visiting our office manager in office S239 in the Cultural Center.
Meal Exchange
As part of a selected plan with meal swipes, students are given the ability to use a set number of swipes at the retail dining operations that offer meals (all except Starbucks). There will be identified meal deals at each location that can be selected using a meal swipe. This truncated menu accessible with swipes will be branded in a way so students know what a meal swipe will get them at these locations. Should they want something else on the menu, they always have the ability to use available Bearcat Bucks to do so.
**Residents of Bearcat Village or McGhee Court only.
Guest Meals
Guest meals can be redeemed in the Grier Dining Hall for friends and family visiting.
All meal plans are purchased on a per semester basis, expiring at the end of each semester. Unused block meals and DB DO NOT roll over. Voluntary DB (DB funds added to meal plan) roll over from Fall semester to Spring semester only.
Your student ID card identifies you as a holder of a meal contract and must be validated by the Business office. Your student ID card must be presented to the cashier at each meal — a procedure necessary to prevent unauthorized persons from using services for which you have paid. Student ID cards are nontransferable and are not to be given to another student for any purpose. The student ID card and meal plan may only be used by the owner. Resident students must present their ID card prior to entering the dining hall. Any student transferring his/her Lander ID card to another person is subject to disciplinary.
