How do I select or switch a meal plan?

Designating your dining plan is done online, through your my.highpoint.edu account.  Every student is automatically signed up for the 14 meal/week plan when students select their housing. The window to change your dining plan is done via your my.highpoint.edu account. If you would like to change your Fall 2023 plan designation, you must do so between August 14th and September 1st @ 5pm via your my.highpoint.edu account.

If you have any other questions, simply either visit the Office of Student Accounts website or contact the Office of Student Accounts to either select or change a meal plan.

What are Dining Dollars?

Dining Dollars are a set amount of funds that students receive with their meal plans. These funds can be used at any of our On-Campus dining locations in conjunction with your meal plan. The amount of dining dollars you receive depends on the meal plan you select. Dining Dollars are also renewed at the beginning of every semester and do not replenish each week or roll over from previous semesters. 

What is Mobile Ordering?

Mobile Ordering is a convenient way to order meals ahead of time. Students simply use the “Transact Mobile Ordering” app to place their orders at any of our restaurants. Students will receive a notification that their order is ready and can proceed to the location and pick up their order. Students can pay for these meals with their meal plans.

Are meal plans included with tuition?

Besides the commuter meal plan for non-residential students, the cost of the dining plan is included in your basic Housing and Dining semester charge.

How often do Magic Meals, Dining Dollars, and General Funds renew?

Magic Meals automatically renew each week on Sunday at midnight. Unused meals and swipes from the week before will not roll over into the following week.

Dining Dollars renew at the beginning of each semester automatically. Unused Dining Dollars from the previous semester will not roll over into the next semester.

General Funds will remain on a student’s passport and continue to roll over until they graduate or leave the university.

How do I add funds to either my Dining Dollars or my General Fund?

While funds cannot be added to Dining Dollars, students may add funds to their General Funds. Simply visit one of our Purple Passport ATM machines located on the main campus to add additional funds to your account. Funds can be added using either cash or a credit card. 

The Purple Passport ATM machines are located next to the Concierge Desk in the Slane Student Center and in the R.G Wanek Center. Students may also add funds to their general funds account using the Student Account’s on their “MyHPU” portal to add general funds.

What’s the difference between Dining Dollars and General Funds?

Dining Dollars is a set number of credits that students can use at any of our on-campus restaurants. Each student is given a set amount of Dining Dollars per semester, depending on which meal plan option the student has chosen. Dining Dollars are renewed at the beginning of each semester and are not replenished on a weekly basis. 

 

General Funds are credits that can be used at any of our restaurants and at any of our Passport Partners located throughout the High Point area. These funds can be added to a student’s passport using the Purple Passport ATMs located next to the Concierge Desk in the Slane Student Center and in the R.G Wanek Center. Funds can also be added using the Student Portal through a student’s highpoint.edu account. For a complete list of Passport Partner locations, simply visit the Campus Concierge website.

Magic Meals and Dining Dollars can be used at any of our on-campus dining locations as well as on our Mobile Ordering App. General Fund’s can be used at any of our on-campus dining locations and any of our Passport Partner restaurants located within High Point.

What does it mean for HPU to be a “cashless campus?”

The “HPU Cashless Campus” model ensures that our students can enjoy the extraordinary services we provide for their exclusive use in a safe and secure environment.  The Passport Card is the only form of payment accepted on campus. Students will need to use their HPU Passport Card when hosting family and friends. The Passport Card also contains a “General Account.” The General Account funds may be used at all dining locations on campus, the campus bookstore, or nearly 100 Passport Partner locations throughout the city of High Point.  Students and parents may make cash and credit/debit card deposits to the passport card using one of our “Passport ATM” machines located throughout campus.

Is tax included in meal plans?

Dining plans are subject to North Carolina sales tax. The sales tax of 6.75% will appear as a separate line item on your semester billing statements.

How do I check my balance?

Students can check their balance using the “Transact eAccounts” application. Students simply log into the app to check their Dining Dollars, General Fund, and the amount of Magic Meal’s they have left. Students can also review past orders and view receipts.

How do I pay for a visitor to dine?

Students can pay for visitors to dine on campus using student’s Magic Meals, Dining Dollars, or General Funds. If a student needs to add general funds to their passport for their guest, this can be completed by either using the Purple Passport ATMs located next to the Concierge Desk in the Slane Student Center and in the R.G Wanek Center or by using the Student Portal through a student’s highpoint.edu account.

Do HPU Dining Locations have to-go options?

All of our HPU Dining locations have options to take food to-go. HPU Dining prides itself on being environmentally friendly, using compostable to-go boxes, cups, and utensils.

If I have dietary restrictions, what options are provided to accommodate my dietary restriction?

HPU Dining takes great strides in accommodating many dietary restrictions, allergies and preferences. 

All of our dining restaurants offer vegetarian-friendly and vegan-friendly options.

For students with allergies, all of our menu items at every restaurant list common allergens that are included in each menu item. The Heart at The Café offers chef inspired recipes that utilize vetted ingredients, featuring a rotating entrée, as well as a made to order Al la Carte menu. The Heart is open all day, seven days a week, and is available on our mobile app! If a student has a food allergy, please let one of our associates know when placing your order. 

Menus for all dining locations can be viewed in advance on the HPU Dining website. Students can view nutritional and dietary information, common allergens, and ingredients used in each food item. Check out the “Dietary Filter” in the upper left corner; the dietary filter allows you to select allergens or preferences beforehand, making browsing the menu hassle free!  

HPU Dining also has a Registered Dietitian on-campus who works closely with our chefs to account for allergens and nutritional information. Visit our Health and Wellness page for more information.
