Hokie passport and dining plans

I’m confused on how this works. Are the dining dollars and passport different. I was thinking that the passport was used to eat as well.

The passport can be used for eating, laundry, stores on campus and some in town. There is a list somewhere but here’s the page about Hokie passport and Dining Dollars (for use in VT dining centers). https://secure.hosting.vt.edu/www.hokiepassport.vt.edu/pages/carduses.php?div2=Student

Current freshman here, dining dollars is the money on your passport strictly for dining and is the price quoted in the dining contract depending on which plan you get. The Hokie dollars are what you add to your passport but they are in separate account, this is the money you can use for laundry,vending machines, and stores that accept Hokie passport
