Dining Center Meals, Dining Dollars, GET & GO, & Flex Meals Explained!
What’s a Dining Center Meal?
Meal swipes for the meal plan holder that can be used in a dining center (Seasons, UDM, and Friley Windows) for an all-you-care-to-dine meal.
What are Dining Dollars?
These spend dollar for dollar at any of our locations and are great when you need a study snack at 1 a.m. They can be added to any plan if you run short! Not on a meal plan? You can just buy Dining Dollars so you know you have money set aside for food. All Dining Dollars expire at the end of the spring semester.

What’s a Flex Meal? (Campanile & Meal Block Plans Only)
For convenience, you can use meals as Flex Meals in all retail locations when you need a meal on the go. Your swipe is worth a certain dollar value and can be used to buy any of your favorite items at our campus cafes, markets, or fast casual locations.
If you spend over your plan’s designated amount, you can pay the difference with Dining Dollars or credit. If you spend under the value, no refunds will be given.
