Whats Cash Equivalency?
Cash Equivalency is the cash value of a Dining Credit when using the Dining Credit part of your Dining Plan at 19 Metro station, Sandwich Factory, Baja Surf and VG Cafe. You can either eat the food you select while you’re there or you can take it out to eat later. Using your Dining Credit allows you to purchase items up to the amounts shown below as “cash equivalency” (for the academic year Fall Quarter 2008-Spring Quarter 2009). This generally covers an average meal. Breakfast $7.90 Lunch $8.75 Dinner $10.20 Late Nite $8.75 For instance, if you really don’t want to eat breakfast one morning, but you’re up early enough to stop by the Sandwich Factory on your way to class, it would be wise to use your Cash Equivalency to purchase up to $7.90 worth of bagels, juice, fruit, sandwiches, salads or other items to eat later. When purchasing a larger or more upscale meal than is covered by the Cash Equivalency amount, Plu$ Dollars are used to pay the additional amount.
