Cash Equivalency

The cash equivalency dining option provides students an opportunity to add variety to their daily meals by exchanging one meal swipe per day for a meal up to a $6.50 value at any of the following locations: 

4 Rivers Smokehouse, Bento Sushi at 1851, Brooklyn Pizza, Chick-fil-A, C.O.E Café, The Den, Doctor's Inn, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Pollo Tropical, Panda Express, Panera Bread, Shake Smart, Steak 'n Shake, Subway, Tally Mac Shack at 1851, Three Torches, Tuscan Eatery at 1851, and Vato Tacos at 1851. If the total transaction is more than $6.50, the remaining balance can be paid with another form of payment including Dining Dollars, FSUCash, or credit card.

For example:

  You have the 100 Renegade with all 100 meal swipes and plan to dine at Chick-fil-A. The ticket price is 8.99. You exchange one meal swipe for $6.50. You are now at 99 Swipes. You then pay the remaining balance of $2.49 with Dining Dollars.

All Fall and Spring dining plans include three (3) guest passes per semester in addition to the total allotted meals that are already included in the dining plan. These three (3) guest passes may be used for a friend or family member in any all you care to eat dining venue. The dining plan holder whose name appears on the corresponding FSUCard must be present to redeem the guest pass. The dining plan holder should alert the cashier if they intend to use a guest pass swipe. One (1) guest pass per semester may be donated to the Student Food Bank (designation must occur at time of dining plan sign-up/purchase). Any unused guest passes at the end of each semester will be forfeited and will not roll over to the next semester.
