Meal Plans

 

Plan Options for 2011 - 2012 

Meal plans are mandatory for all students who live in Kays Hall, University Hall, Arkansas Hall, North Park Quads, Honors Living Learning Community, and the ROTC Living Learning Community. Plans may only be changed prior to the opening date of the residence halls each semester.

Commuter students and those who live Collegiate Park Apartments, Red Wolf Den Apartments, and the Village have the option of purchasing a meal plan. All plans are available for these students; however, the Volunary Meal Plans (VMPs) are available only to these students.

Students who purchase a "block" meal plan may dine in the Acansa, up to the number of block meals purchased. The block plans also allow the holder to use the plan to bring in guests. Each guest will reduce the block by one meal.

Students with the 5 Day or 7 Day plans may NOT bring guests in, unless they use Flex Dollars to pay for them.

The purchase of any meal plan is dependent on year classification. Unused Flex Dollars will carry over from fall to spring if a spring plan is purchased, but Flex Dollars must be used by the end of spring semester to avoid forfeiture.

The 7-Day Plan offers unlimited access to dining in Acansa Dining Hall - 7 days a week. Come in for a meal, a snack or just to enjoy a cup of coffee or a soda. This is our most economical plan, perfect for the student with a big appetite, small appetite or somewhere in between. Add even more flexibility by purchasing Flex Dollars or Express Dollars.

The 5-Day Plan also offers unlimited access to dining in our Acansa Dining Hall - Monday through Friday. It operates just like the 7-Day Plan, but is more suitable for the diner who prefers to only eat on campus during the school week. If you travel to your hometown most weekends, this plan is for you! You can also add Flex Dollars or Express Dollars.

Flex Dollars operates like a declining balance account that can be used at any of our dining venues, including Acansa Dining Hall, the Food Court, the Campus Store, Starbucks, and Simply to Go. Flex is tax-exempt, offering a savings of 8.5% in Craighead County. Customers may add up to $150.00 additional Flex Dollars per semester to any dining plan with a Flex feature.

Express Dollars is also a declining balance account that can be used at all our dining venues, as listed above. They can also be used in the ASU Bookstore and off campus at local retailers. See the Student Account Services Web page for more information and a list of participating retailers.

The Faculty/Staff Meal Plan or 15 for $60 plan is a meal plan just for ASU faculty and staff. It offers the same access to Acansa Dining Hall that the other meal plans offer, just at a discounted price. It can be purchased at any time throughout the semester and as many times as needed.
