2023-2024 Meal Plans

Welcome to Cal Maritime Marketplace. Your dining experience is an important part of campus life. We want you to make the most of your time here. Whether you are indulging before a big exam or grabbing a quick coffee on your way to class, we have what you need! Our meal plans offer any cadet living on campus the convenience and variety of food they need to enjoy their time at Cal Maritime in Vallejo, CA.

All campus residents will be required to purchase a campus meal plan. For the 2023-2024 Academic Year, there are two meal plan options:

    5-Day Meal Plan with $200 FLEX Dollars per semester = 15 swipes a week

        $3,250 per semester ($6,500 per academic year)

    7-Day Meal Plan with $100 FLEX Dollars per semester = 19 swipes a week

        $3,500 per semester ($7,000 per academic year)

Guests, faculty/staff, and cadets who do not have a meal plan may still eat at the Marketplace by paying an at-the-door rate. At-the-door fees will be as follows:

    Breakfast - $13.00

    Lunch - $14.00

    Dinner - $15.00

Payment is accepted through debit or credit ONLY, as we are a cashless campus.

How do I use my Meal Plan?

For the 2023-2024 Academic Year, each meal plan comes with Swipes and FLEX Dollars. Sand Dollars may be reloaded through Blackboard eAccounts by any authorized user.

Swipes - One (1) swipe includes access to the all-you-care-to-eat dining at The Marketplace. Cadets may eat as much as they please, but unfortunately, will not be able to take meals to-go. For to-go meals, you may use FLEX Dollars, or Sand Dollars. Number of swipes resets every Sunday night and will not roll over to the following week. Swipes may also be used as "meal exchanges" at The Bistro and Morrow Cove.

FLEX - May be used at Morrow Cove, The Bistro, Grub Hub Program, Vending, and Food Trucks. FLEX Dollars will roll over from the Fall semester to Spring semester, but all unused FLEX Dollars will be forfeited at the end of the academic school year.

Sand Dollars - Let's say you run out of Swipes or FLEX Dollars, you may deposit money into your Sand Dollars account to use as "cash value." Sand Dollars are accepted at the same dining locations as with FLEX, but can also be used for laundry, and the campus bookstore.

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.

Are the mobile apps still available with the new meal plans?

Yes, you are still able to view nutritional information on the Everyday app. We also offer GrubHub+ for free for cadets, which includes $0 delivery fees once you connect a campus card to the app.

Who is required to purchase a meal plan?

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