The unlimited meal plan means that you can eat in the dining hall whenever and as many times you want. For example, you could eat a late breakfast during the official “lunch” time and still come in for a later lunch during the same “lunch” time.

A meal exchange means that you can apply the cost of a particular meal period (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to a purchase made at an on-campus dining facility like Einstein’s or the Coffee House for up to five purchases a week.

Lion Dollars are similar to a debit account and can be used at any dining location on campus. Each time you make a purchase with your student ID card using Lion Dollars, the amount is automatically deducted from your account. Lion Dollars attached to meal plans expire each semester. However, additional Lion Dollars, that never expire as long as you are a registered student at Queens, can be purchased any time by visiting the Dine on Campus office or by contacting Dining Services (704-688-2824).
