Weekly Point Balances

The All Points Plan is designed with the idea that students will have a reasonable amount of money (points) for food to get them through the semester. With this in mind, we have created a chart to indicate what your point balance should be at the end of each week.

We have also created a chart for each of the point plans that are included with other meal plans.  These balances are intended as guides only. Students are free to spend their points any way they choose.  We hope that by using the chart, you will avoid running out of points, or having points left over at the end of the spring semester.  Any questions or concerns, please email us at campuscard@brandeis.edu
