First Year Dining Plans
Welcome to Penn!
First year Penn students are required to purchase a dining plan. Students can choose between four first-year plans with varying combinations of visits to the all-you-care-to-eat dining halls and Dining Dollar$. You can add additional blocks of visits or any amount of Dining Dollar$ to your dining plan at any time by logging into your account on Campus Express.
Need to Know Info
Dining Plans are listed by annual price, annual visits to the all-you-care-to-eat dining halls and annual Dining Dollar$. Dining Plan contracts are binding for the entire year. Billing is done in the Fall as well as in the Spring. Students receive half of their annual visits and half of their annual Dining Dollar$ each semester.

How Do Dining Plans Work?
Semester Allowance
Use your visits in any of our three all-you-care-to-eat on-campus restaurants (1920 Commons, Hill College House or Kings Court English College House). Additionally, you can use your visits in Falk Dining Commons, our all-you-care-to-eat kosher dining restaurant. Each time you eat in an on-campus restaurant, one visit is subtracted from your semester visit allowance.
Dining Dollar$(D$)
Dining Dollar$ can be used in any Penn Dining location including Starbucks in 1920 Commons and Houston Market. Each time you make a purchase, that amount is subtracted from your Dining Dollar$ account balance.
