Frog Pass

Frog Pass is the TCU dining plan. It allows students to come and go to Market Square as often they like from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the weekends. Five plans provide Frog Bucks that can be used off campus and Campus Cash that can be used on campus.

Campus Cash

Campus Cash is designed to give students flexibility and can be used at one of TCU's seven other campus dining locations.

Frog Bucks

Designed to give students flexibility, Frog Bucks can also be used off campus. Unused Frog Bucks that come with the Frog Pass plans will roll over to the spring semester, but are NOT refundable at the end of the academic year. If students are running low, they can easily add more Frog Bucks online through TCU. All Frog Bucks added on to the base meal plan are refundable.

All plans with Frog Bucks require acceptance of Off-Campus Advantage to use Frog Bucks at local participating restaurants.
