The Dining Plan
Each Dining Plan has two components‚ weekly meals and flex dollars.
Weekly Meals
- Weekly meals ensure that meals can be purchased for the entire semester.
- Enjoy all-you-care-to-eat at Commons Market and Blazer Café.
- Build your own “Combo Meal” in K-Lair and Ovid’s by choosing an entrée and adding a side(s) and a drink.
- One meal is deducted from your weekly meal total each time you purchase a meal through one of our participating Dining Services locations.
- Your weekly meal allowance begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.
- Unused meals cannot be refunded‚ accumulated or carried over to the next week.
Flex Dollars
- Works like a debit card in all 23 Dining Services locations on campus including Starbucks®‚ Subway®‚ Chick-fil-A®‚ and three convenience stores.
- Purchases are subtracted from your account.
- Adding money to your Flex Account is easy‚ just go to the Dining/Plus Accounts Office in 101 Student Center.
- Unused Flex Dollars are non-refundable and non-transferable between semesters.
