Meal Swipes
Meal swipes give students access into the two all-you-care-to-eat dining halls. Students simply swipe their FLASHcard to enter Eastway Dining or DI Dining and they are good to go! Students with unlimited meal plans may enter without the need to count their meal swipes! Students with Block meal plans will have a set number of swipes per semester. Meal swipes may only be used by the specific meal plan holder.
Declining Balance
Declining balance are the dollars included with a meal plan. Grab Starbucks, a meal in The HUB or some quick snacks in any campus market! These dollars go directly onto your FLASHcard and can only be used at on-campus dining retail locations. Declining balance dollars roll over from semester to semester, until the student graduates or leaves 国产伦理.
Guest Meals
Guest meals offer flexibility to treat friends or family to a meal in Eastway Dining or DI Dining: Eat-In! Many of the meal plan options comes with a specific number of guest meals each semester that are loaded directly on your FLASHcard. Guest meals can be used for any additional individuals the meal plan holder would like to use them on.

Meal exchange gives variety and flexibility! Students can redeem one meal swipe per meal period at designated locations and may also use one meal swipe per day at several locations in the Kent Student Center or at the George T. Simon III Caf茅. Learn more!
