Aggie Dining Dollars (formerly Flex Points) are purchased as part of a Meal Plan and can only be used toward food items.
Aggie Cash is an account in which money can be deposited onto your Aggie ID Card and can conveniently be used in place of money at most campus retail locations. More info for both Aggie Dining Dollars & Aggie Cash available on the ID Card Services Web site.

Student Meal Plans

INFORMATION BELOW APPLIES TO THE FALL & SPRING SEMESTERS ONLY.

With over 15 different dining concepts on campus, you have a wide variety of food options. Student Meal Plan contracts are year-long obligations (both fall & spring semesters). Therefore, if you have a Meal Plan for the fall semester, you will automatically be given the same Meal Plan for the spring semester of the same academic year. Prices and values listed are per semester.

• First year students staying in the NMSU Residence Halls, who recently graduated from high school (even with Dual-Credit college credits) are required to purchase a Meal Plan and are limited to the Aggie Unlimited or the Aggie Choice 230. Upon verification of class standing/housing assignments, invalid choices will be changed to the Aggie Choice 230. Students required to have a Meal Plan, who have not applied for one by the first day of classes, will be assigned to the Aggie Choice 230. Click here tp review pricing and details.
• Changes to student meal plans can only be made within the first two weeks of dining operations each semester and must be done in writing at the ID Card Services office or by e-mail at idsvs@nmsu.edu.
• Aggie Dining Dollars are effective throughout the academic year from 7 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 14, through 10 p.m. They continue to be in effect during breaks and holidays for those restaurants continuing operations at those times. Only 100 Aggie Dining Dollars are issued during the first two weeks of classes. The remaining portion is issued after the Close of the Official Withdrawal Period.

Aggie Dining Dollars Carry Over from Fall to Spring, but not from Spring to Fall

While unused Aggie Dining Dollars carry over from the Fall semester to the subsequent Spring semester, any unused Taos meals do not. Because the meal plan contract is for one academic year, any unused Aggie Dining Dollars at the end of the Spring semester are forfeited. We think that eating nutritious meals on a regular basis is important to any college student’s health and well-being. Because there is no carryover from one school year to the next, it is important to fully use your Meal Plan.

Aggie Dining Dollars can only be used for food and cannot be used for anything else including alcohol or gift cards.

ONLINE APPLICATION        

Checking Meals Available Balance

You can check your Meal Plan balance here. The cash registers are also able to show a balance of available meals each time you use your card. Don’t hesitate to ask a cashier for this information periodically. It’s always a good idea to keep track of how often you use your Meal Plan.

Sharing your Meal Plan – Not an Option

Meals are not transferable. The Meal Plan you purchased is for your use exclusively. You may purchase meals for guests who accompany you with your Aggie Dining Dollars, Aggie Cash or cash. Please do NOT loan your card to a friend to use. Improper use or abuse of the Meal Plan program may result in disciplinary action.

Aggie Cash

An Aggie Cash account is an optional NMSU-maintained debit account which gives you the ability to pre-load funds onto your NMSU Aggie ID card to use at various locations around campus and provides a convenient and safe way to make purchases and access services. It functions like a bank debit account with two major differences. Funds deposited into the account may only be used on campus and cash withdrawals are prohibited.

Funds may be deposited into an Aggie Cash account at the ID Card Services office by either cash, check, or credit/debit cards and also online through eAccounts. There is a $25 minimum deposit when depositing by credit/debit card. You may also deposit funds at the kiosk located in Pete’s Place computer lab.

Staff and Faculty may also take advantage of the Aggie Cash program. Regular full-time and part-time faculty or staff members have the opportunity to sign up for an Aggie Cash account with payroll deduction. This allows an employee to make purchases up to $100 in Aggie Cash funds per pay period, which will then automatically be deducted from the employee’s paycheck.

Funds are accessible the moment that the deposit is completed and only expire if the account remains inactive for two years from the date of the last transaction. Refunds are available through the ID Card Services Office for a $10 fee.
