How do I use a Campus Meal Plan? 

The meal plan you load to your OneCard works like a debit card: whenever you buy a meal on campus the amount of your purchase is subtracted from your account. All meal plans can be used at any Seneca Dining Service location at Newnham, King and Seneca@York Campus, plus Subway in the Residence at Newnham Campus.

Expiry

When your tax-free meal plan expires any remaining amount from your “You Pay” purchase is automatically transferred to OneCard dollars for your future use.  It will no longer be tax free and can be used for purchases at other Seneca locations.  Unspent Bonus Dollars become forfeit.
