Your Meal Plan is non-transferable and may only be used by you. Meal Plan Dollars, Dining Dollars, and Flex Dollars may also be used to pay for meals for your guests at any of the Campus Dining Locations.

You can add Dining Dollars or Flex Dollars to your Falcon card at any time. The minimum deposit is $25. Dining Dollars and Flex Dollars deposits may be made in person at the Business Office with cash or check payable to Pfeiffer University. These accounts are not part of your annual Meal Plan Contract and therefore cannot be added to your tuition bill. They will, however, remain active as long as you are affiliated with Pfeiffer University. This means your balances carry from semester to semester and year to year.

Although it is not possible to add Meal Plan Dollars to your Falcon Card account, you may add Dining Dollars , which is used in the same way and at the same places as Meal Plan Dollars. Or you may add Flex Dollars, which is used in all the same dining locations, plus snack & beverage vending machines on campus. Dining Dollars and Flex Cash deposits may at the Business Office located in the Admissions Building. The Student Accounts Office can take cash or check deposits only between 8AM and 4:30PM Monday through Friday during each semester.

Click on the link for Parents and Guests to proceed. You can be assured that the student will have immediate access to the funds you have deposited.

The main difference is that Meal Plan Dollars are a set amount that is part of your meal plan each semester. Unused balances carry only from the Fall Semester and will be added to your Meal Plan Dollar allotment for the Spring Semester. They will expire at the end of the academic year when your Meal Plan ends. Dining Dollars and Flex Dollars are not tied to a meal plan in any way. They are both accepted at all of the campus dining locations. Flex Dollars is also accepted at snack and beverage vending machines on campus, and Flex Dollar accounts do not expire. They remain on your Falcon Card as long as you are affiliated with PU--as student, faculty or staff. Dining Dollars and Flex Dollars will remain on your account until graduation, withdrawal or separation from PU.
