As a Freshman, what meal plans may I choose from?
All incoming freshmen with 30 earned hours or less who are living in University residential housing are required to purchase a meal plan for each of their first TWO (2) semesters.  Transfer students with less than 30 earned credit hours are also required to purchase a meal plan for TWO (2) semesters. Freshmen may choose from any plan listed under the Meal Plan Pricing & Information section with the exception of the Upperclassmen Block Meal Plans.

Are there any food options for my special needs?
Yes!  Special needs such as dietary, religion, work, or class conflicts should be brought to the attention of the Dining Services Office.  We will do whatever we can to assist you.

Will my missed meals during the week carry over?
No!  If you miss a meal during the week or do not eat all of the meals (Carte        Blanche, 15, 10, or 5) you are entitled to within any given week, the meal(s) WILL NOT carry over into the following week.  Meal periods run from Monday morning to Sunday evening.  Any meals not eaten during that week are not transferable or refundable.

Does my Captain's Cash (declining balance) carry over at semester's end?
Yes!  Any Captain’s Cash (declining balance) not used at the end of the fall or first semester will “roll over” to the spring or second semester upon the purchase of a meal plan for the second semester.  However, Captain’s Cash is non- refundable.  Any Captain’s Cash will be lost if not used by the end of the school year or second semester.

What do I receive with my meals in the Skyhawk Dining Hall?
The Skyhawk Dining Hall is “all-you-care-to-eat” for every meal, seven days a week.  We welcome you to eat as much as you wish, but we do encourage you to think healthy.  Take only what you can eat, and you are always welcome to come back for seconds.  You also receive a cool “Enviro-mug” with your meal plan for use of refills and to-go drinks during meal periods in the Dining Hall.

What is Captain's Cash?
Captain’s Cash is the declining balance part of your meal plan that can be spent at the customer’s option in all dining operations.  It operates very much like a check book or a debit card balance.   As the money is spent in places such as the Food Court, the Convenience Store, Smart Market, and Captain’s Coffee, the purchases are subtracted from the beginning balance.  Your Captain’s Cash can also be used in the Dining Hall in addition to the meal portion of your meal plan.
