Be Sure To Safeguard Your ID Card –
It’s Also Your Meal Card!
At Tiffin University, we want to provide you with the highest quality dining service at the best price possible – offering you real value. Make the most of your dining dollars! Your ID card is also your meal card. In other words, when your ID card is encoded with the meal plan you select, it becomes equivalent to cash. Please be sure to SAFEGUARD your card. Never loan it to another student, because your card represents you and you alone!
What happens if you lose your ID card?
If you do lose your ID card, you may pick up a new card at the Student Affairs Office for a fee of $25. Please report a lost card immediately. Because your card is the same as cash in Cole Dining Hall, TU’s Dining Service will not be responsible for any money spent against your account.
