Frequently Asked Questions

Meal plans are designed for use at Harrington Dining Hall, Belmont’s primary all-you-care-to-eat location. For added flexibility, the Bruin Flex Pass allows you to use one meal swipe per day—valued at up to $8—at select campus dining locations.

To use your Bruin Flex Pass, let the cashier know you’d like to pay with your Bruin Flex Pass at checkout. For mobile orders through the BruinEats app, select “Meal Exchange” as your payment method.

The full $8 must be used in a single transaction. Unused balances are not refunded, and any amount over $8 can be paid with a credit card, cash, Dining Dollars, or Bruin Bucks.

The Bruin Flex Pass provides a convenient, flexible alternative to Harrington Dining Hall, helping you make the most of your campus dining experience.

Meal plan swipes can be used at Harrington Place Dining. Dining Dollars that come with a meal plan can be used at any of our on-campus retail dining locations (Bear Necessities at Rogers, Bear Necessities at Wiseman, Betty’s Market, Bruin Bites, Chick-fil-A, Einstein Bros Bagels, Nativo, Neely Deli, Slim + Husky’s, and We Proudly Serve Starbucks)

Dining Dollars are funds that are included with a meal plan and can be utilized at on-campus retail locations. Dining Dollars are eligible for rollover from the Fall semester to the Spring semester. To retain these funds, a meal plan for the Spring semester is required. Unused Dining Dollars expire at the end of the Spring semester and are not eligible for rollover.

Bruin Bucks are optional, dollar-for-dollar funds that can be added to your student account to supplement your meal plan. They can be used at all on-campus dining locations, the Belmont Pharmacy, campus vending machines, and participating off-campus restaurants.

You can add Bruin Bucks at any time. Unused funds roll over each semester and remain active until you graduate or leave the university.

You have two options for purchasing Bruin Bucks: billing to your student account or using a credit card.

Billing to your student account: Log into the Housing Portal. On the right-hand side of the screen, the option to add Bruin Bucks will be available during designated periods when charges to your student account are allowed. Please note, once registration for the next semester begins, Bruin Bucks cannot be charged to your student account to avoid holds that may affect class registration. During these periods, you may purchase Bruin Bucks via credit card.

Purchasing with a credit card: You can add Bruin Bucks via credit card, debit card, or Apple Pay at any time and in any increment using the Transact E Accounts app. Download the app from your device’s app store, log in, and select “Add Money” to fund your Bruin Bucks balance.
