What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at our on-campus dining locations. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Flexi Dollars, conveniently loaded onto your university card. No need to carry additional cards or cash!
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, La Mesa Dining Hall.
Flexi Dollars
Flexi Dollars may be used at any Grizzly Eats Dining location. They expire at the end of each semester, so be sure to use them up. If you run out, you can purchase more flexi dollars at any time throughout the year. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation.
Meal Exchange
If you have purchased any meal plan with meal swipes, you have the option to utalize that meal swipe in our all you can eat dining hall, La Mesa Dining Hall. Or you can use your meal swipe as a meal exchange at breakfast or for lunch. Choose from a curated list of menu options at select dining locations and use your meal swipe in the Food Court.
