meal transfers to retail facilities
Meal Plan Holders who choose to transfer a lunch to a Retail Dining Facility (Divinity Cafe, Kline Cafe, Law, Marigolds & SOM only, excludes all other retail locations) will be able to do so provided it is the first swipe of the lunch meal period, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. A lunch swipe at a retail location will be the only swipe permitted for that meal period. You may not swipe again at residential dining hall till the dinner period, which starts at 5:00 pm. The cash equivalency for a board meal lunch transfer is $7.00.
Holders of the Anytime Meal Plan may transfer one swipe per meal period to Divinity Cafe, Kline Cafe, Law, Marigolds & SOM only. An Anytime Meal Plan holder who transfers a meal to a retail location loses the ability to double swipe at Yale College and Commons for the rest of that meal period.
How does double swiping work?
Dining Services meal plan privileges are not transferable. Double swipe is a repeat privilege for undergraduate meal plan holders during the LUNCH PERIOD ONLY IN YALE COLLEGE AND COMMONS Dining Halls. Double swipes are for the bearer of the card only and cannot be transferred to another.
Undergraduate meal plan holders will be permitted to use a repeat swipe at a residential college dining room or Commons only if the first swipe of the lunch period was at a residential (board) location.
Lunch Meal Period:
Yale College: 11:30 am to 1:30 pm
Commons: 11:00 am to 4:59 pm
