What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at 10 locations across campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Bonus Dollars, conveniently loaded onto your Lancer Card. No need to carry additional cards or cash!
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to Dhall, our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall in Dorrill Dining Hall.
Bonus Dollars
Bonus Dollars may be used at any Longwood University Dining location. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation.
Meal Exchange
With each meal plan you get a set number of Meal Exchanges to use per week that pull from your allotted meals based on your plan. This allows you to use one Meal Swipe as a Meal Exchange at select locations across campus. Meal Exchange typically includes an entrée, side and beverage.
