Using Meals and Flex Dollars. Students present
their dining cards to the cashier after making food
selections. Food can be purchased as a meal or with flex
dollars in Dunigan Dining Hall, Union Station, Cafe Espresso
and Ace’s Place. The card is scanned, the account is
updated, and the ending balance is displayed on the
register. Students may also request a receipt.
Definition of Meals. A meal provides a student
the ability to (A) eat all he or she would like during a
meal period in Harper Dining Hall or (B) select a designated
combination consisting of an entree, drink and side in Union
Station or Ace’s Place. Students can use up to five meals
per day. (Ace’s Place and Union Station dining facilities
have a two meal per period limit to decrease long wait lines
and help ease production constraints.) Any unused meals left
at the end of each semester are forfeited.
Definition of Flex Dollars. Flex dollars may
be used to purchase individual items in Jazzman’s Cafe,
Ace’s Place and Union Station. They may also be used to
purchase a meal.
Flex
dollars transfer to the spring semester when a student
continues with a meal plan on UE’s home campus. Any unused
flex dollars left at the end of the second semester will be
forfeited. Flex dollars are nonrefundable when a contract is
ended or cancelled.
If a
student utilizes all of his or her flex dollars, additional
flex dollars can be purchased at a 120 percent value (e.g.,
$100 cash = $120 flex value on your card). Additional flex
dollars can be purchased through the dining services office
in the lower level of the McCurdy Alumni Memorial Union
Building.
