MEAL PLAN OPTIONS

Q.  DO I NEED TO BE ON A MEAL PLAN?

A.  Yes.  All residents must be on one of the six traditional meal plans provided.

Q.  WHY IS THERE SO LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN THE PRICE BETWEEN THE 10, 14, AND 19 MEAL PLANS?

A.  The price of the meal plans include fixed costs (equipment, utilities, and personnel) and a "missed meal factor."  The more plans offered, the less likely a person is to miss meals.  University Dining Services serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily Monday - Friday.  They also provide brunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday.  The meal plan options are:

19+	Unlimited daily entry and $100 in plus points
19	19 meals per week
14+	14 meals per week and $100 in plus points
14	14 meals per week
10+	10 meals per week and $137 plus points
10	10 meals per week

Plus Points can be spent in the Inn Between, Java City, and Einstein Bros. Bagels (in the AD building), and in Schott dining hall to host a guest.  These points must be used by the end of each semester or forfeited.

Q.  ARE ANY PROVISIONS MADE FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS?

A.  If you have specific dietary needs, please visit the University Dining Services office, located in the Underground, to speak with a representative.

Q.  WHAT ARE FLEX DOLLARS?

A.  This is money that can be deposited in a declining balance account in order to purchase items at the Inn Between, Java City, Einstein Bros. Bagels or to bring a guest in to the Schott dining hall.  Flex Dollars do not expire.

Q.  WHAT IS CARROLL CA$H?

A.  Carroll Ca$h is a separate fund you can establish to make purchases at various sites on campus.  Currently snack and soda machines, residence hall laundry machines, and the JCU bookstore are accepting Carroll Ca$h.  You can use it in all campus dining locations after you have used all your plus points and/or flex dollars.
