Commuters, College apartment and house residents may put commuter meal points on the Jaypass in the Office of Student Accounts. Points on this plan may be used for meals on campus. Points carry forward to the next term. You may charge the transaction for the points to your student account as long as your account is in good standing. Any monies remaining at the end of the academic year will be refunded to the student account. Additionally, Elmhurst Terrace residents in College housing receive 150 dining points on their Jaypass which are only usable in Chartwells' venues—the main dining hall, the E.C. Grill in the Roost and the coffee bar.
