Campus dining Whether you eat every meal on campus or just grab a bite now and then, you’ll love the value, variety and convenience of your meal plan. Campus dining is available seven days-a-week.
Meal plans How do they work?
Meal plans are geared specifically to make your life easier. Depending on whether you live on or off campus and which meal plan you choose, your meal plan will be made up of: unlimited swipes, a set number of swipes, Resident Dollars, Flex Dollars and/or an inclining balance. Swipes give you access to Bearcat Commons, the all-you-care-to-eat residential restaurant on the first floor of the Student Union. Just swipe and eat whatever you like! Resident Dollars, for on-campus students may be used at any dining location on campus, as well as vending machines and concession stands. Flex Dollars, for commuting students may be used at the same locations as Resident Dollars as well as for delivery from Domino’s and Pizza Hut. With inclining balance, your Bearcat Card becomes a credit card that you can use for food purchases that will be billed to your University account.
What Are My Meal Plan Choices?
Our meal plans provide you with many options. Select a plan that fits your status (resident or commuter) and your lifestyle. Resident Plans Traditional residents can choose from four All-Access Plans with varying levels of spending power. Each plan is made up of unlimited swipes to Bearcat Commons. Silver Base Plan: Unlimited access to Bearcat Commons, 7-days-a-week Gold Base Plan: Unlimited access to Bearcat Commons, 7-days-a-week, $150 Resident Dollars + 5 guest meal passes Platinum Base Plan: Unlimited access to Bearcat Commons, 7-days-a-week, $300 Resident Dollars + 8 guest meal passes 5-Day Plan: Unlimited access to Bearcat Commons, Monday–Friday You can add Resident Dollars to your plan anytime in increments of $25 or use inclining balance for purchases at any location.
Commuter Plans As a commuter student, you don’t have to do a thing. All registered, commuter students are automatically able to use inclining balance to charge their food purchases to their University account. If you are worried about controlling your spending on inclining, you can choose from an All-Access Plan or Block Plans. Block Plans offer a set number of all-you-care-to-eat meals to use anytime throughout the trimester in Bearcat Commons. Inclining Balance: Inclining works like a credit card allowing you to charge all your purchases to your University account. All-Access Meal Plans: Commuters have the option of signing up for any of the All-Access meal plans available to residents. Block Plans: A Block Plan is perfect for commuters who wish to visit Bearcat Commons at their convenience throughout the trimester. Choose from a set number of swipes from 75, 50 or 25 all-you-care-to-eat meals. Add Flex Dollars: If you don’t want a full plan but still want to pre-pay, you can add Flex Dollars to your card in any increment of $25.
