Meal Swipes
Meal swipes may be used at the Dining Room at the Malkin Sacks Commons and Green Wave Grille which both offer an all-you-care-to-eat dining experience.
Wavebuck$ & Nolabuck$
Spend your Wavebuck$ like cash at all dining locations on campus! From retail eateries to coffee shops and convenience stores, one Wavebuck equals $1.00. Plus, you can also use Wavebuck$ for entry to the dining halls. Wavebuck$ can be added in increments of $100 up to $1000. NOLAbuck$ can be spent like cash at specified off-campus retail locations around New Orleans. NOLAbuck$ can be added in increments of $25 up to $500.
No need to worry about losing your unused balance - any unspent Wavebuck$ and NOLAbuck$ will roll over from fall to spring if you continue your meal plan. If you do not have a spring meal plan, any extra Wavebuck$ and NOLAbuck$ will expire.
