Students who find themselves with a large amount of dining dollars remaining at the end of the quarter have a few options. They can donate to the Mustang Meal Share program and help fellow students struggling with food insecurity. They can stock up on groceries like snacks and drinks or personal items at all Campus Dining markets. Cal Poly products like chocolate, jam and BBQ sauce are a market staple and make great gifts to bring home.
The trick to staying on budget is for students to monitor their balance. Students can keep up to date on their dining funds through the Cal Poly portal. They can also swipe their PolyCard at any register at all Campus Dining operations to see their remaining balance. Dining dollars roll over quarter to quarter and expire at the end of the academic year. Students should make a habit of checking their balance often, at least weekly. It's a new pattern to add to their college-life list, like calling home once a week to let everyone know how things are going!
