What does weekly meal allowance and PacerPoints mean for Resident Students?
Weekly Meal Allowance: You'll receive a set number of meals (depending on what plan you select from above) each week which you can use to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner (brunch on weekends) in Belk Dining Hall. Each time you eat in Belk Dining Hall, one meal is subtracted from your weekly meal allowance. Weekly meal allotments begin on Wednesday and end on Tuesday.

PacerPoints: PacerPoints are declining balance dollars that can be used in Peace Perk and Belk Dining Hall.
