If I don't use all of my meals in one semester, do they carry over to the following semester?

Meals do NOT carry over from one semester to the next. It is important that you select the right plan to fit your schedule and your eating habits to ensure that you get the full value for your dollars. We can help you select the plan that best fits your lifestyle.

Can I change my Dining Plan?

Yes. You have the opportunity to change your dining plan during the first two weeks of the fall and/or spring semesters. Simply go to the Campus Dining Office in the Union and fill out a dining plan change form.

What happens to my unused Flex Dollars at the end of the semester?

Your unused dollars transfer from the fall to the spring semester. At the beginning of spring semester, the unused dollars from the fall semester will be used first. Once those are depleted, your spring semester meal plan will be activated. If you had a meal plan in the fall semester that you could use at the C-Store's & Dairy Bar, those monies will still be accepted at those locations in the spring semester until that meal plan is depleted. At the end of the spring semester, any unused dollars are forfeited. It is important that you select the right plan to fit your schedule and your eating habits to ensure that you get the full value for your dollars. We can help you select the plan that best fits your lifestyle.

Can I treat my friend by using two "meals" in a meal period?

*Yes, however, you are the only person authorized to use your ID card. You must be present to purchase meals using your block meals or flex dollars. *(Please Note: Individuals with the Premier Meal Plan (unlimited meals) are not able to purchase additional meals for guests.)

Reload! If your dollars run low, you can add Flex Dollars to your account using cash, check, money order or credit card. Simply load money online or go to the Campus Card Services Office located in the Union to make your payment. Each time you purchase a snack or a full meal, you may ask the cashier to tell you how many meals and/or Flex Dollars you have remaining.
