DINE | NMU plans allow you to take advantage of all the great food available on campus every day.  DINE | NMU plans carry-over from semester to semester.  CatCa$h is a stored value account giving students, faculty, and staff the ability to pay for purchases with their Wildcat Express card. It works as a debit card allowing money to be pre-deposited onto the Wildcat Express card. There are no fees or other charges for opening or using a CatCa$h account. You can then use the card at various locations on campus. The plans do not allow our customers to request “To-Go” containers, or remove food and/or utensils from the dining rooms.

Need more meals? The DINE | NMU plans can be purchased again at any time or think about purchasing one of our Residential Meal Plans, these plans are also available to Faculty, Staff, Commuter Students, and Apartment Residents.
