What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at more than 10 concepts across campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Pioneer Express Dollars, conveniently loaded onto your ID card. No need to carry additional cards or cash!
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to our Wayne Dining Hall, our all-you-care-to-eat facility.
Pioneer Express Dollars
Pioneer Express Dollars may be used at any William Paterson Dining location. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation.
