What is a Meal Plan?

A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at 5 locations across campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Flex, conveniently loaded onto your ID card. No need to carry additional cards or cash!


Swipes

Meal Swipes

Meal Swipes give you access our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, The Dining Commons.

Dollars

Flex Dollars

Flex Dollars may be used at any Marian University Dining location. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation.

What’s the difference between Flex Dollars and Knight Bucks?

Flex dollars are included with your meal plan and expire at the end of the semester. Any dollars you add are referred to as Knight Bucks. Knight Bucks will carry over to the following semester/year as long as you are enrolled as a student at Marian.
