2009-2010 Dining Plans

TCU offers a unique dining experience at Market Square, the main dining facility. With 7 separate dining stations, Market Square could be described as a “food mall”. All residential students are required to purchase a dining pass plan each semester.

TCU Dining Pass Plans have 4 distinct components.

 

1. Swipe Access- “Market Square” swipes- students enter our dine-in-only main dining hall by using a swipe. Many of the TCU dining pass plans offer unlimited swipe usage per day.

 

2. Simply to Go options- students may use a “swipe” to purchase a breakfast or lunch alternative offered at the Sub Connection dining facility.

3. Frog Bucks- “pocket change” that can be used at all on campus dining facilities as well as a host of off campus locations.

 

4. Campus Cash- “pocket change” that can only be spent at on campus dining facilities.

All residential students are required to purchase a meal plan each semester.
 
Unused Campus Cash or Frog Bucks will roll from the fall semester to the spring semester. Any Campus Cash or Frog Bucks that has not been used by the end of the spring semester will not be refunded.

Non-residential students may purchase any of the TCU dining plans.

Dining Pass Plan funds are non-refundable. This means that swipes, Frog Bucks and Campus Cash included in a dining pass plan are non-refundable.

 

I bought a Starbucks coffee in the bookstore. Which funds got used?
The answer is none. Anything that is purchased inside of the bookstore-books, make-up, t-shirts, and even coffee will all be billed to the students account. No dining plan funds, Frog Bucks or Campus Cash will be used to pay for a purchase made in the bookstore.

 

We’ve run out of Frog Pass Bucks and/or Frog Pass Cash Campus Cash…what do we do??
When a student runs out of Frog Pass Bucks or Campus Pass Cash more can be purchased outside of the dining pass plan. These will be referred to as “Frog Bucks” or “Campus Cash”- dropping the word “pass”. This allows us to easily identify these funds as being purchased outside of a dining pass plan. Unused Frog Bucks or Campus Cash purchased outside of a dining pass plan are refundable at the end of the spring semester.

 

How do I add more Campus Cash?
A student must bring their ID card to the ID card center and request Campus Cash. The amount the student requests will be billed on the next billing cycle. These funds can only be used on TCU’s campus in locations such as the library, the rec center, the Union Grounds, or any of the on-campus dining facilities.

 

How do I add more Frog Bucks?
Additional Frog Bucks can ONLY be purchased online using a MasterCard, Discover or American Express. (TCU does not accept Visa.) Please click on the tab “Frog Bucks at your Fingertips” for instructions. Frog Bucks can also be purchased using the already mentioned credit cards or a check by visiting the ID Center. Frog Bucks can be used on campus and at off campus locations that can be found at http://www.tcufrogbucks.com/.

Can Frog Bucks be billed to a student account?   NO
The state of Texas law states that because we are not a lending institution we cannot extend credit outside of our own facilities. Because Frog Bucks can be used at off campus locations, they must be paid for before they can be used.

 

Non-refundable funds will be used first. Our computer program allows us to dictate which funds are accessed first from each of our locations therefore we are able to ensure that all non-refundable funds are used before refundable funds are accessed.
