Flex works like a pre-paid debit card with funds kept on your Lion card (physical or mobile). Flex may be used at any on-campus dining location which includes Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, Jimmy John’s and the RSC Mini Market. You can also use Flex at the Lion's Mane Cafe if you are out of weekly meals or to treat a friend.

Flex dollars now roll over from Fall to Spring! Unused Flex dollars will be forfeited at the end of the Spring semester.

All students may purchase your meal plan by stopping by Residential Living and Learning and fill out a meal plan agreement. Follow this link for more information.
