Dining Plan Management

Entering '53 Commons

🖐️ Get in the Fast Lane!

See the Card Office and get easy, no-touch hand-scanning entry at '53 Commons!

How does hand scanning work?

  • The enrollment device captures images of points on your fingers.
  • The scanned images are then converted to a mathematical representation using a proprietary algorithm of the information.
  • This information is then immediately discarded.

Will my information be secure?

✅ Yes, you can scan with confidence!

  • There are no images saved of your hands or fingerprints.
  • A mathematical number is created to link you to your meal plan.

Track Your Spending

GET is a service provided by Campus Billing and DartCard Services that enables students to track spending and account balances on all of their Dartmouth ID Card accounts, just like an online banking service. GET is also available as an app for Android from Google Play and iOS devices from the Apple App Store.

Dining Plan Corrections

If you notice an error in your meal plan transactions, email Dartmouth Dining.

Changing Your Meal Plan

All first-year students are committed to the Ivy Unlimited meal plan for their first year (fall, winter, and spring terms).

Also, all matriculating transfer students and new exchange students (without a previous meal plan) will be committed to the Ivy Unlimited for the fall term as they will be taking part in orientation meals. Then, exchange students would be eligible to change beginning with the following winter term meal plan selection period.

Other students may request a change to their dining plan through StarPortal from the time the current term's tuition bill is received up until the third day of classes each term.
