Making the Most of Your Dining Plan Value Meals are served for lunch and dinner at South Campus Dining Hall and The Diner. In general, they include one entrée and one or two side dishes. The Value Meal menu changes every day. The mythical “Average Student” eats average- size meals a week with Dining Services (dining halls, cafés and 251 North combined). Students who eat more than average may need a back-up plan (Stamp Add-On, Terrapin Express, debit/credit card, cash). There is a 40 Point per day spending cap in place during last three weeks of the semester. Every part of the Dining Plan (Resident Points, 251 North Meals, and Terp Bucks) expires at the end of each semester.

Dining Services employs over 400 students per semester. Starting pay $8.25 / hour plus free meal every shift. Opportunity for advancement to Student Supervisor / Student Manager Examples of student positions: Bakery Barista Business Office Cashier Catering Waiter Concessions Dishwasher Driver IT Support Late Night Dining Marketing Nutrition Assistant Procurement Restaurant Cook Retail Associate Student Employment

Terrapin Express Turns your UMD ID card into a debit card that grants access to on- campus vendors and services. Terrapin Express is optional and does not replace a Resident Dining Plan for a student living on campus. Add funds online, by mail, by phone or in person Check Terrapin Express accounts online via terrapinexpress.umd.edu

Tips and Helpful Hints: The dining halls each have a dozen different food stations – try something new every day! Always bring your UMD ID card when you come in to eat! Speak up !! Talk with the manager on duty if you have a question or a concern. Online Services has a Spending Grid to keep track of your Resident Points! Terp Bucks can be used in the convenience shops for non-food purchases (i.e. personal care items, school supplies) – which will lower the number or meals available. BONUS TIP: the best days to go to 251 North are Monday and Tuesday!
