What are Dining Dollars?

Dining dollars are held in a debit card-like account — a convenient no cash way of buying meals and snacks. Dining dollars can be used at any campus dining location and may be used as a meal replacement for the student to whom they were originally assigned; to purchase gift baskets (not reimbursable); to attend a University sponsored event such as Restaurant Night; to purchase tickets for students and their families for dining commencement functions such as Courtside Grill and Farewell Luncheon.  Dining dollars are NOT transferable or refundable. They may not be used as a means of payment for a University sponsored catered event with or without expectation of reimbursement.

What can I do if my student’s Dining Dollars are running low?

Additional dining dollars can be purchased at any time at three convenient campus locations - the Bucknell Dining Office, the Bison, or the Finance Office.

My student has special dietary considerations. How can Dining Services help?

We encourage you to have your student contact a manager to discuss dietary needs or allergy concerns. We offer Touchstones, a program focused on the critical nature of food allergies and we work with our guests on an individual basis to meet their needs.  We give ownership to our guests and identify the items we can produce on demand for them.  We can meet with students to review our menu and daily offerings to help accommodate their needs.  At any time they can email us at dining@bucknell.edu or call 570.577.1240.

What if I have a question that’s not answered here?

Email us anytime at dining@bucknell.edu, visit us at www.bucknell.edu/dining or call us at 570.577.1240. We’d be happy to answer any questions you have.
