USE IT OR LOSE IT All meal plans are on a “use-it-or-lose-it” basis. That is, once money is allotted to a student’s dining account, unused money is not refunded at the end of the academic year. The Aladine meal plans are the most flexible plans possible for you and your schedule. Aladine is a declining balance plan. That is, you have a balance on your Bearcat Card for meals, and the balance declines as you use your funds. The reason for the installments is to help you budget your funds. Also, each week in all the dining locations, an information sheet is posted listing how much you should have remaining on your meal plan. Should you need to have an installment applied early, go online to www.campusdish.com/en-US/ CSMW/NorthwestMissouri. There is no fee for putting an installment on early. Each time you use your Aladine plan, the cost is electronically deducted from your account. The cashier will tell you your balance each time you use your card. You also can ask the cashier to tell you your balance without making a purchase. You may purchase $25 increments (tax-free) online at www.campusdish.com/en-US/CSMW/ NorthwestMissouri if you run out of Aladine money. All on-campus students must have a meal plan. You also may eat in any of the dining areas by paying cash.
