We know that you are busy as a student. That's why our team created flex swipes. Flex swipes offer you the ability to use a meal swipe at eight on-campus retail locations at any time, or at market places once you have used all of your market place swipes. The Black or Gold meal plans automatically have 75 Flex swipes included.

Notes: Students are limited to five flex swipes per day. Flex swipes cannot be used as guest meals in the market places.

What's included

A flex swipe allows you to choose one of the following options: 

  • One (1) Entree + Two (2) Sides + One (1) Drink
  • One (1) Burge, Catlett, Hillcrest Market Place meal

Flex swipe selections vary by location, but a flex meal in a retail location typically includes a sandwich, chips, fresh fruit, and a beverage.
