Flex Dollars

The amount of Flex Dollars varies depending on the meal plan selected. Each meal plan includes a specified amount of Flex Dollars which may be spent at the retail dining venues in Bone Student Center (McAlister’s Deli, Pizza Hut Express, Burger King, Freshens, and The Cage II Coffee Shop); at the Subway shops located on campus (Wilkins Hall, Watterson Towers, Hamilton-Whitten Halls or Manchester Hall); coffee and sandwich shops in Centennial Hall (Airport Lounge) and the College of Business Building (Business Bistro); and vending machines in the residence halls.

Flex Dollars remaining at the end of the fall semester will roll over into the spring semester providing the meal plan holder purchases a meal plan for spring semester. All Flex Dollars expire at the end of the spring semester and are non-refundable. Your spring meal plan must be purchased before January 7, 2010 in order for Flex Dollars to roll over from fall to spring.

Carryout Option: While carry out is available, disposable containers do not support campus sustainability efforts. Therefore, you are highly encouraged to dine in rather than carry out whenever possible.

Most meal plan options will allow you to carry out at each meal without limitation. However, the Unlimited Access Meal Plan for students allows a maximum of 3 carry out meals per day. A carry out meal is defined as one entrée, two side dishes, one dessert and one beverage.
