Carte Blanche: All-You-Care-To-Eat
On any of the Carte Blanche Plans, you are welcome to dine as many times as you wish at Eickhoff Dining Hall during the hours provided by your plan. When you enter Eickhoff, you simply present your TCNJ ID and enjoy whatever foods and beverages you wish while at the dining hall.
What does Eickhoff Hall offer? Make your own fresh salad at our salad bar, enjoy a hot "home-style" meal at our Classics Station, get a great deli sandwich made to your specifications, eat healthy at our new Wellness Station and much, much, more! Thirsty? Eickhoff Dining Hall offers over 25 beverage choices, from refreshing fruit juices, to ice cold Pepsi fountain sodas, to a hot cup of Green Mountain Coffee -- there's even a choice of 4 varieties of milk.
Also, all three Carte Blanche Plans are supplemented with Carte Blanche Points - the same type of declining balance system currently being used at TCNJ. With your points, you simply present your TCNJ ID Card to make cashless purchases at any TCNJ Dining location - you can even use them to treat a friend or family member to an all-you-care-to-eat meal at Eickhoff.
The Carte Blanche A Plan
Fall Price: Carte Blanche A - $1546
Spring Price: Carte Blanche A - $1457
The Carte Blanche A Plan offers the best combination of convenience and value. Students with this plan can enjoy a great meal, a snack, or just a quick beverage whenever they wish at Eickhoff Dining Hall, without ever paying to enter. Visit as often as you wish, enjoy whatever you wish!
Not near Eickhoff when hunger hits? This plan also includes $400 in Carte Blanche Points per semester that can be used like cash at any TCNJ Dining Location. Pick-up a hot espresso at Edith's Place, a spicy plate of buffalo wings at Travers-Wolfe, or a box of your favorite cereal at The Marketplace Convenience Store -- and pay for it simply by presenting your TCNJ ID Card.
A Great Plan at a Great Value: How's this for a good deal? The Carte Blanche A Plan offers $150 dollars more per semester in Carte Blanche Points than the Carte Blanche B Plan but only cost $100 more per semester! It's like getting $50 in points free each semester!
The Carte Blanche B Plan
Fall Price: Carte Blanche B - $1473
Spring Price: Carte Blanche B - $1353
The Carte Blanche B Plan offers all-day dining at Eickhoff. Students with this plan can enjoy a great meal, a snack, or just a quick beverage whenever they wish at Eickhoff Dining Hall, without ever paying to enter. Visit as often as you wish, enjoy whatever you wish!
Not near Eickhoff when hunger hits? This plan also includes $250 in Carte Blanche Points that can be used like cash at any TCNJ Dining Location

The Carte Blanche C Plan
Fall Price: Carte Blanche C - $1284
Spring Price: Carte Blanche C - $1179
The Carte Blanche C Plan offers unlimited access during lunch and dinner hours. From 11:00am to close each day, students with this plan can enjoy a great meal, a snack, or just a quick beverage whenever they wish at Eickhoff Dining Hall, without ever paying to enter.

We know you've got a busy schedule, but...
Even if you eat an occasional breakfast - or even enjoy a daily cup of coffee, you may want to choose the Carte Blanche B Plan over the Carte Blanche C Plan.
