What is a Meal Plan?

A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at 15 locations across campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Dining Dollars, conveniently loaded onto your campus card.  No need to carry additional cards or cash!


Swipes

Meal Swipes

Meal Swipes give you access to any of our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, including Damen Dining Hall, Simpson Dining Hall, and de Nobili Dining Hall. All you care to eat, or AYCTE simply means that you use your card to “swipe” into the dining hall for that meal period and can enjoy as little or as much as you would like for that meal period. 

Dollars

Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars may be used at any Loyola University Dining location. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation.
