What is a Meal Plan?
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to any of our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, Todd Dining Hall and West End Dining Hall.
Gold and Purple Bucks
Gold and Purple Bucksmay be used at any ECU Dining location. Purple Bucks roll from Fall to Spring, then expire at the end of the Spring semester. Gold Bucks follow you until graduation. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation.
Pirate Meals
Pirate Meals are pre-set combo meals that can be used at most ECU Dining retail locations on campus. Each combo comes with either an entrée+side+drink or entrée+drink. You can use up to 3 pirate meals per order. Students with Gold Commuter plans may also use one Pirate Meal for entry into Todd and West End Dining Halls.
