Meal Plans and Campus Cash
Does Campus Cash rollover from fall to spring?

Do I have to purchase a meal plan?
All on-campus residential students must purchase a residential meal plan. All students may purchase a meal plan. Our dining program offers a variety of meal plans to best fit your preferences.
How do I select / purchase a meal plan?

Can someone else use my meal plan?
No, meal plans are non-transferable and meant for the sole use of the student to whom it was issued; however, if your meal plan contains guest passes, you may use them for visitors, students, etc. Campus does operate a program Swipe it Forward, a program that allows enrolled students who need to access additional “swipes” in times of need.
Am I entitled to a refund if I don’t use all of my meal plan?
If a student officially withdraws from campus and provides the required authorization from the college, a prorated refund may be issued after a utilization review. Refunds based on lack of meal plan use cannot be refunded. Please consult the Campus Catalog for policy details.
What is the difference between Campus Cash and Roo Express?
Campus Cash is money associated with your meal that can only be used on campus at dining locations, the Campus Store, and at vending machines. Roo Express is funding that can be applied at any food service location, the Campus Store, or vending machines. Roo Express is also currently accepted at a variety of off-campus locations.
