Convenient as campus is, some students choose to live nearby and commute to campus in their later years. As a commuter, you still have access to amenities and services—just at a greater distance.
For dining, commuters may wish to purchase , which is additional money you can load on your DU Card. When PLUS is applied, your DU Card works like a debit card for food. You can spend PLUS at every Â鶹ֱ²¥ Dining Services location on campus. As an added bonus, you will receive a percentage in additional PLUS dollars when the funds are loaded onto your card.
You also have the choice of purchasing PLUS Plans, which are larger amounts of PLUS that can be billed to your student account. For more information, visit Duquesne Dining.
