You can redeem up to 16 of your meal swipes per week at participating retail locations. There are no restrictions on when or how quickly you can use them. If your meal plan has a set total of meal swipes, only the amount of Meal Exchange-eligible swipes you use each week counts towards your total.  

Meal plans are only able to be used on-campus at the University Culinary Services locations. However, there are a number of off-campus locations that will accept Downtown Dining Dollars and FLASHcash. For more information on these meal plan features, check out Step 1 above.

All dining locations provide a space for students to sit and enjoy a snack or meal, as well as options for students on the go.

Per University Policy, first-year and sophomore resident students are required to have a meal plan for the entire school year. First- and second-year students living on-campus are able to pick from one of the First-and Second-Year Residential Meal Plan options.
