Understanding the Components of Your Meal Plan Money

Meal Plan Money

The most convenient way to take advantage of the features offered by the University of Toledo Dining Services programs is through the purchase of one of the pre-paid meal plan programs.  Our meal plans offer you the ability to pick up groceries, snacks and meals without having to carry cash or use a credit card.  Meal plans typically include three components; Meal Credits, Dining Dollars and Rocket Card Dollars.

Meal Credits

The primary component of the meal plan is the Meal Credits.  The meal credits offer you the assurance of being able to eat without having to carry cash.  Meal credits are used as the primary form of payment at our traditional all you can eat dinning halls.  Meal credits are non-transferable to any other student, account or academic term.
