<p>Dining Dollars expire annually, but Panther Funds expire upon graduation. So, if you want some stored-value card, the Panther Funds give you more chance to use them.</p>
<p>Panther funds are essentially the same thing as cash. parents like it so they know there kid isnt buying alcohol. Only advantage is you get .50 cents off from the laundry machine</p>
<p>lkf, I thought the dining dollars expired at the end of each semester. Are you sure they're good for the whole year?</p>
<p>Website says, " Dining Dollars are subtracted from your meal plan as you go and are good for the entire semester." Market</a> Central</p>
<p>Oh, I knew they expired and I guess it is every semester. I remember times when S bought cases and cases of beverages just to use up his DD. I hate any system that makes you forfeit something you already paid for.</p>
