Meal Plans

The College offers eight different meal plans to accommodate your needs. Meal plans are based on units called "blocks," and all but the A-1 meal plan offer flex dollars. Blocks and flex dollars are pre-purchased units of measure that may be redeemed for food and/or beverages in the dining venues. In the all-you-can-eat Servery/Great Room, blocks are redeemed for meals using the following scale:

• Breakfast = 1 block
• Lunch and brunch = 2 blocks
• Dinner = 3 blocks

A student who eats 19 meals per week should use 600 blocks per semester if he/she used only blocks to acquire meals.

Flex dollars are included in all the plans with the exception of the A-1 plan. Flex dollars allow students to use their board plan to eat and drink at the smaller retail dining venues: Upper Deck, Quizno's, Lewis Quad Grab & Go, the campus convenience store, the Green Bean cafe and the vending machines, in addition to the Servery/Great Room.
