Students can use their Dining Dollars to purchase meals/items in any of the four Panther Dining Centers, Carman & Thomas Convenience Centers, Food Court, and Java B & B. Dining Dollars are good for the entire academic year, provide a 20% discount off the cash/guest meal price in the dining centers, and allow for purchases at the Carman & Thomas Convenience Centers, Food Court and Java B & B.

You may purchase dining dollars for yourself by coming to the Housing & Dining Office located in the Martin Luther King Jr. Union. The minimum Dining Dollar purchase is only $50.00, payable by money order, personal check or by charging your Dining Dollars t your EIU account. Your Panther Card is needed at the time of purchase.

You may order Dining Dollars for your student, friend, or co-worker by clicking on the Dining Dollar link at the bottom of the page. After you have filled out the form, sign it, and mail or bring it in to us, we will send a card to your student, friend or co-worker to inform them of your gift and how they can redeem it.
