Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use my Meal Plan?

This year's meal plans include Swipes, FLEX Dollars, and Sand Dollars. Sand Dollars may be reloaded through Blackboard eAccounts by any authorized user

Swipes:

Get unlimited meals at The Marketplace (dine-in only).
Swipes reset every week after Sunday Dinners and do not carry over into the next week.
Can also be used for "meal exchanges" at The Bistro and Morrow Cove.

FLEX Dollars:

Use at Morrow Cove, The Bistro, Grub Hub Program, Vending, and Food Trucks.
Unused FLEX Dollars roll over from Fall to Spring, but expire at the end of the year.

Sand Dollars:

Add more money to your account online for "cash value."
Use at the same places as FLEX Dollars, plus laundry and the bookstore.

I need special dietary accommodations. What do I do?

Can I take my food to-go at the Marketplace?

No, because we are running on an all-you-can-eat schedule, food to-go is not an option at the Marketplace.

If you need to-go food options, or do not have time to sit and eat at The Marketplace, you may do a meal exchange at The Bistro or Morrow Cove, or use your FLEX Dollars or Sand Dollars at the other dining locations.

What happens if I run out of Swipes, FLEX, or Sand Dollars?

To purchase meals, you can pay the door fee, or add additional money to your Sand Dollars balance through Blackboard eAccounts. To upgrade or change meal plans, there will be a deadline to do so at the beginning of the year/semester through the cashier's office.

Who is required to purchase a meal plan?

ALL students living on campus are required to participate in a meal plan each academic semester.

What mobile apps are available to support campus dining?

- Everyday is available on the app store to view daily menus & nutritional information.

- GrubHub+ is complimentary for all current students, and provides $0 delivery fees for qualifying orders anywhere in the Continental U.S.

- Easy mobile ordering from the Bistro through the Transact app.
