Yes.  Second-year students may change their meal plan to any plan for which they are eligible during the specified meal plan change period at the beginning of the semester. Only one change may be made each semester.

All plan changes should be made through the MyHousing Portal.  You may also email oxforddining@emory.edu to request a meal plan change.

Think of Dooley Dollars as a coupon or gift card.  They are included with all meal plan options to allow you the flexibility to use your residential meal plan to eat outside of the residential dining hall. Dooley Dollars work just like a debit card on a declining balance.  Students must tell the cashier that they wish to use Dooley Dollars for their purchase.  Dooley Dollars can only be used for food. Purchases are automatically deducted from your account balance.

You save 12% when you use Dooley Dollars instead of debit or credit!  Dooley Dollars are included with your meal plan and can be used to make purchases at the Oxford Dining Hall, Oxpresso, OFK, and for special dining events hosted by Oxford Dining without incurring any additional out-of-pocket expenses. You receive a 5% discount at any Oxford Dining location when using Dooley Dollars. Dooley Dollars are also free of sales tax, giving you an additional 7% discount.  You can add Dooley Dollars at any time via the MyHousing portal and they roll over from Fall to Spring.

Dooley Dollars will roll over from the fall semester to the spring semester and the summer sessions, but not from one academic year to another. All unused Dooley Dollars expire at the end of the academic year.

You may purchase additional Dooley Dollars at any time during the academic year via the MyHousing website. Dooley Dollars are added in increments of $25.

Dooley Dollars are a component of the meal plan and are not available for purchase separately.
