Convenience Points are separate from traditional meal plans and can be purchased through the My Housing Portal (charged to a student account) or by credit card via the GET mobile app or website. Points may be added to existing dining plans in initial amounts of $100, $200, $300, or any increment of $25. Additional points can be purchased in $25 increments during the summer. Convenience Points function like cash and may be used to purchase meals in the summer residence dining room; at on-campus dining locations open during the summer on an à la carte basis; and at City Convenience stores, the Boston University Campus Store, most campus vending machines, and laundry machines.
