Dining plans are designed to meet your needs for the term(s) that you are in residence.  If you have a remaining balance at the end of your residency, the balance will automatically carry forward to all future terms on a taxable basis.  Any carry forward is gratuitous and your dining plan remains non-transferable, non-refundable, and has no cash value.
