Wellesley College Meal Program

How It Works

The Wellesley plan is added to your account at the beginning of each semester once registration is finalized. Your allowance is accessible using your MIT ID card or mobile device at checkout. The allowance works differently from a meal plan and had a dollar limit for each meal.

Allowance Amounts

Your allowance is valid for either lunch or dinner Monday through Friday:

• Lunch (11:00AM – 4:59PM) — $13.75
• Dinner (5:00PM – 12:00AM) — $16.25

Checking Your Account

To see if the plan has been added to your account, check mycard.mit.edu. It will be listed as “Wellesley Students”. You may also see a plan called “TechCASH Flex” which is available to all students and is a plan that cannot be used until funds are added by the student.

Please contact techcash@mit.edu with any questions.

Where and How to Use It

Allowances are best utilized at our retail locations. Please note that the Wellesley meal plan program is processed differently than MIT TechCASH or Dining Dollars as it adds a step for the cashier during checkout (if a balance remains after the allowance is applied). If the cashier states a transaction failed, please ask to try again and inform them of your payment method for the remaining balance.
