Your mandatory Residence Meal Plan is included in your residence fees and allows you to eat at three dining halls and several retail food locations serving a variety of globally inspired food across campus!
Your meal plan includes:
19 weekly meals: Eat in your choice of three dining halls and several retail locations. Ban Righ and Leonard, on main campus offer daily All-You-Care-To-Eat dining service with diverse menu stations on a 5-week menu rotation. Jean Royce offers All-You-Care-To-Eat during breakfast and dinner and retail-style meals during lunch.
200 Trade a Meals (TAM): The convenience of using up to four TAM swipes per day, allows you to “trade-in” a dining hall meal from your plan for a combo meal in a retail location, adding flexibility to your meal plan to eat outside of the dining halls at participating locations across campus. Standard Residence Meal Plans include 200 TAMs. TAMs are NOT additional weekly meals. *All meal plans and/or any portion of unused plans expire at the end of the academic year, are non-refundable and cannot be carried over into a new term.
145 Flex $: Flex $ works like cash loaded onto your student card to purchase beverages, snacks, and meals in participating retail food locations. The cashier will swipe your card and the purchase amount will be deducted from your Flex $ balance. You can add more Flex $ to your card at any time, and in any denomination through the . į&Բ;
Auto-enrollment into the GOOD TO GO Reusable Container Initiative: You will automatically be opted into the GOOD TO GO reusable container initiative to help eliminate single-use packaging when dining in retail locations across campus, using a Swap-Eat-Repeat process. LEARN MORE
