NOLAbuck$ are retail dollars you can purchase separately from your dining plan. You can then use NOLAbuck$ at specified retail locations around New Orleans. When purchasing a dining plan, NOLAbuck$ can be added in increments of $25. More NOLAbuck$ may be purchased throughout the semester in $25 increments.

The Commuter dining plan is tailored to students who live off-campus. This plan is not available to on-campus students (including those living in Aron Residences). For more information, please see our dining plan page.

Students may add Wavebuck$ in $100 increments and NOLAbuck$ in $25 increments by visiting the Dining Plan portal or in the Campus Services office in the Lavin-Bernick Center, Suite 107. No cash is necessary as the additional buck$ will be charged to the student’s accounts receivable bill if the student has accounts receivable charging privileges. 

Wavebuck$ and NOLAbuck$ roll over from fall to spring if a dining plan is purchased for the spring semester. If you choose not to purchase a plan in the spring, all Wavebuck$ and NOLAbuck$ will expire at the end of the fall. All Wavebuck$ and NOLAbuck$ expire at the end of each spring semester.
