Community Dining Plan Terms 2022-2023

2022-2023 Academic Year

PLEASE READ THESE PROVISIONS

Community Dining Plan (“Plan”) is offered by Campus Dining, a unit of the Cal Poly Corporation, to the Users (student, staff, or faculty at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo). By using the Plan, the User agrees to the following terms and conditions:

  1. USING THE PLAN. Plan is used to purchase food items from dining venues on campus, and is a dollar for dollar declining balance account. Value expires at the end of the academic year on June 18, 2023. Available dining dollars include dining dollars and bonus dining dollars. Dining dollars are redeemed before bonus dining dollars.
  2. PLAN. All Cal Poly students, faculty and staff are able to become Users by purchasing Plan, per the terms of this agreement.
  3. ACCESS. Plan is a type of “Value Account Plan” that is accessed through the magnetic strip on the back of the Student’s University ID card (“PolyCard”), or the ISO number for electronic purchases using a mobile food ordering platform. Users must present the PolyCard to purchase goods with the Plan at registers. It is the Users responsibility to acquire the PolyCard before using the Plan. Campus Dining provides all food service support at the University, and can be contacted at 805-756-5939 or campusdining@calpoly.edu
  4. VENUES. Other venues may be added or changed (or names changed) throughout the year. Venues may be open for limited hours, which will be posted at each venue. Plan can be used for food services at all restaurants on campus.
  5. PURCHASE AND ADDITIONAL LOADS. Plan can be purchased, and subsequent loads can be added, for a set number of dining dollars (value) by logging into the MyCalPoly portal (http://my.calpoly.edu), going to the Money Matters tab, and clicking on the “Go to My Account or Place Order” link, by credit card Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. Online purchase and additional loads by credit card are usually instantaneous but may be delayed due to network traffic. Restitution is required for overdrafts resulting from purchases made while the register system may be off-line, with the computer server showing updated balances.
  6. CANCELLATION. Plan in Poly 2250, Poly 1500, Poly 1000 and Poly 500 can be canceled at any time with no cancellation fee. Any unspent dining dollars balance less bonus dining dollars and rollover dining dollars will be refunded to the User. Bonus dining dollars and rollover dining dollars are nonrefundable. When the dining plan is used the dining dollars that rolled over from 2021-22 are used first, followed by the dining plan dollars, then finally the bonus dollars. Users who purchased their Plan through the University Housing portal (StarRez platform) will have their refund credited to their student account with University Student Accounts Office. Users who purchased through the Cal Poly portal’s Money Matters link (JSA platform) will receive their refund on the same card used to make the Plan purchase, or via check.
