Market Street at MacCracken offers multiple ways to use your meal plan depending on what you’re purchasing:
- Meal Swipe Equivalency — Use a swipe at MacCracken Grill for a hot meal ordered through the Grubhub app or kiosk.
- Meals To Go — Grab a prepackaged meal with a meal swipe that includes a Sprig & Sprout entrée (look for the green sticker), fruit or chips, and a Miami bottled water.
- Dining Dollars — Purchase any food items from the market or grill that are not part of a meal swipe equivalency, including coffee, smoothies, snacks, and other grab-and-go items.
- MUlaa — Use MUlaa to purchase non-food items like snacks, supplies, or other retail goods available in the market.
This setup gives you maximum flexibility whether you’re stopping by for a full meal, a quick snack, or campus essentials.
Patio Grill is a new allergen-friendly dining concept launching in fall 2025. Located behind the Farmer School of Business and attached to Garden Dining Commons, Patio Grill offers meals free from the top nine allergens and gluten.

Meal Plans
Depending on the level you choose, you’ll receive a set number of meal swipes each week. Unused meal swipes do not roll over from week to week. However, students on the Diplomat Minimum, Plus, and Standard plans receive a special Bonus Week — an extra week’s worth of swipes that do roll forward throughout the semester.
Your meal plan also includes Dining Dollars, which can be used at various dining locations on campus. For continuing students, any unspent Dining Dollars will automatically transfer to your plan for the next semester. We recommend monitoring your balance regularly and budgeting carefully, especially if you’re considering adding more funds before the end of the semester.
Meal plans are designed to give you flexible dining options all semester long. If your current plan isn’t the right fit, you can change it until the first day of the semester (fall and spring) by logging into your housing portal or contacting the Campus Services Center.
Where You Can Use Your Meal Plan
