Meal Points Explained
Meal points function on a declining balance model. Each item or meal has an assigned price in meal points and that number of points is deducted from the student's account when they make a purchase. The points balance is shown on every receipt.
Unused meal points from the fall semester carry over to the spring Semester. However, at the end of the spring semester any unused meal points are lost.
