Lion Points are redeemable at the Lair’s Community Table “All You Care to Eat” meals, which are offered as the evening meal on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows students to save on the door price to eat at the Community Table. Changes to the meal plan can be made ONLY during the third & fourth week of each semester in the Student Housing Office in Leavey 6.

LION Dollars can be used at On-Campus dining venues only. S-Dollars This supplemental meal plan is available to all full time (12+ units) undergraduate students only. The minimal deposit is $100 and can be added after a student’s LION dollars run out or for any student that wants to eat on campus occasionally.

Like funds in the L, I, O or N plans, the money spent from your S dollars is not subject to sales tax and is used for On-Campus dining venues only. S dollars may be added at the Manage My Onecard site. and most convenient option and deposits can be made immediately using a credit card.
