Your meal plan will be connected to your Tufts ID.
- Meal plan holders use their Tufts ID to swipe into our dining centers or use meal swipe equivalency at one of our retail locations.

Where are meal swipes accepted?
- Meal swipes are used to enter our all-you-care-to-eat dining centers – Fresh at Carmichael and Dewick-MacPhie.
- A swipe also has a cash value –or equivalency (amount depends on the meal period)–that may be used in certain Tufts Dining retail locations.
- Retail locations accepting meal swipes: Hodgdon, Kindlevan, Pax et Lox Glatt Kosher Deli, SMFA Café, and Commons Late Night (Friday and Saturday night only)
- 1 swipe will be deducted from your plan each time you swipe into a dining center or use a meal equivalency at a retail location.
