Faculty/Staff Meal Plan
Everyone has to eat — including Murray State faculty and staff. So, for your convenience, Dining Services has created a faculty/staff meal plan option called Dining Dollars.
Dining Dollars provide a 10 percent bonus in the form of additional dollars on your account with each deposit through May 10th, 2019. For example, if you deposit $100, your account will be credited with $110. And, honestly, who doesn't love that? Watch for updates to this program starting Fall 2019.
- Minimum deposit: $50.
- Add money to your account.
- Can be used at all Murray State Dining Services locations.
- Available to all faculty and staff, including regular part-time staff and retirees.
- Can be used to pay for guest meals.
- Refunds, minus the 10 percent bonus, are available for employees who leave Murray State.
- NOT available for student or temporary staff.
Pay for your plan
After making your meal plan selection, the cost of that plan is added to your tuition bill, which means scholarships and financial aid may be applied toward covering this cost.
Flex dollars remaining at the end of the fall 2019 semester will roll to the spring 2020 semester providing another meal/ flex plan is in place at the start of the spring 2020 semester and stays active for the term of the semester. Unused flex dollars will not roll at the end of the spring 2020 semester.

Not sure how many meals you have left for the semester? Not a problem. You can check your balance any time by logging onto your myGate account and clicking the "Money" tab. Beneath the box titled "RacerCard Balances," you can see how many meals you have left for the semester.
