Dining Dollars and Tech Cash
If you have a TechCASH Flex plan in addition to Dining Dollars, the system will deduct purchases from Dining Dollars first at ALL dining locations, except LaVerde's. If you would like to use TechCASH flex funds, please tell the cashier to use 'TechCASH.' At LaVerde's, the system will take TechCASH funds first, then Dining Dollars.
Dining Dollars will roll over from the fall to spring but must be used by the end of the spring semester. Meal swipes, regardless of plan, expire at the end of each semester.
Supplement Your Current Meal Plan with Additional Dining Dollars
You can add additional dining dollars up to the full amount of your chosen meal plan total. For example, if you have a 190 plan, you can up to $250 in additional dining dollars. These additional dining dollars also receive the 5% discount for on-campus purchases. Just log into techcash.mit.edu and click on "Quick Deposit - Student Bill."
