Meal Plans
Residential Meal Plans
All first-year residential students are required to participate in the Unlimited Meal Plan or 14 Meal Plan. Meal swipes and Bonus Dollars do not carry over from semester to semester.
*Meal Plan Exchange: Students on a meal plan have the option to use a meal swipe at the Courtside Café or Freshens at the Plex. The amount of exchanges allowed in one week depends on the meal plan. Meal plan exchanges are provided Monday through Friday. They reset on Saturday.
**Vern Bucks: Vern Bucks may be used in all of our dining outlets. When purchasing Vern Bucks, patrons are given a 10% bonus of the dollar amount requested. Students may add Vern Bucks when they deplete their bonus bucks. Vern Bucks do not expire. To add more funds go to the Office of Student Financial Services.
