Students on a Meal Plan can use a Meal Swipe during breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Dining Room. There are no limits on how many Meal Swipes you can use throughout the day.

A Meal Exchange allows you to use a Meal Swipe in a retail location. Meal Exchanges are available in the Camelot Room. The selections will be noted on the menu boards and will change frequently to ensure variety for Meal Plan holders.

Students can use a Meal Exchange up to three times in a week. A student may choose to use all three of these meals in one day if that is their preference. There are no limitations as to time of day or number of meals exchanged in a day. Since Sodexo starts their week on a Friday, a student can go into one of the above mentioned dining locations on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and then again on Friday as it is the start of the new week.

• Dining Dollars are part of your Meal Plan. Each of the Meal Plans comes with an allotment of Dining Dollars. Meal Plan holders can reload their Meal Plan at any point in the academic year. Dining Dollars are accepted at all dining destinations on campus. Dining Dollars can be purchased at the Dining Services Office.
• Your Golden Knights Kash account is an accumulated prepaid declining balance account attached to your Golden Knights Card. This account is not associated with the Dining Dollars account which you receive when you open an on-campus Meal Plan. With this account, money can be deposited onto your card, allowing you to use it like a debit card in a number of locations on campus. Unlike Dining Dollars, Golden Knights Kash can be used at the Campus Store to purchase books, supplies, or Saint Rose apparel or memorabilia, as well as at various print and copy machines located throughout the campus. This card allows you to experience the comfort and safety of not having to carry cash, checks or credit cards for purchases as you travel between classes. Although this account acts like a debit card, there are some differences. The money that can be debited from your account is strictly predetermined by the amount you deposit. No transactions will be processed once you have exhausted the balance on your account. The cards may only be used on campus. No cash withdrawals can be made from the card. The card may not be used to purchase tobacco, alcohol, or firearms.
• Learn more about your Golden Knights Card here.

• Additional Dining Dollars can be purchased at the Dining Services Office. Dining Dollars roll over from fall to spring semester but expire at the end of final exams in the Spring semester.
