Kosher Plans JumboCash Buy Extra Swipes Meal Plan Policies

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.
  • The Tufts ID is also used for JumboCash purchases on-campus and with our off-campus partners.

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.

Meal plans are per semester

  • Meal swipes do not carryover between semesters, so use them don’t lose them!
  • Your Fall meal plan will expire when the dining centers close after Fall semester final exams.
  • Your Spring meal plan will expire when the dining centers close after Spring final exams.
  • Check your meal swipe balance at jumbocash.net
