Meal Plans
At UIndy, your student ID, or "One Card," is used to access many services on campus, including meals.
| Levels | Meals Per Semester | Dining Dollars Per Semester | Approx. Meals Per Week | Cost Per Semester |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 80 | $15 | 5 | $695 |
| 2 | 160 | $15 | 10 | $1,640 |
| 3 | 224 | $25 | 14 | $2,135 |
| 4 | 304 | $50 | 19 | $2,395 |
Eligibility
- New Residence Hall Students: Level 3 or higher
- Returning Residence Hall Students: Level 2 or higher
- Campus Apartment Residents: Level 1 or higher
- Commuter Students: Level 1 or higher
Each meal plan also comes with flexible Dining Dollars that can be used like cash in the food-service venues. Students also may use their meal allotments for family and friends who visit campus.
Expiration
Meals expire at the end of each semester. Students with a meal plan who meet the requirements for a free spring term (enrolled in their first spring term course), will receive meals for that spring term.
Changing Meal Plans
Students may only change their meal plan up to one week prior to the beginning of the semester, and any change must follow the eligibility requirements outlined above.
Dining Dollars
- Dining Dollars are put on students’ cards at the beginning of each semester and can be used until the funds are depleted. Students can add additional money at any time by purchasing Crimson Cash.
- Dining Dollars may only be used at dining locations: The Marketplace, Streets Corner or The Perk.
- Dining Dollars are not refundable. Any remaining Dining Dollar balance is lost at the end of each semester.
Crimson Cash
Crimson Cash is loaded onto your UIndy ID card and, unlike Dining Dollars, can be used at several campus locations.
Where to Use Crimson Cash
- All campus dining locations
- UIndy bookstore
- Copy machines in Krannert Memorial Library
- Vending machines in Schwitzer Student Center and the library
Where to Add Crimson Cash to Your Card
- Student Business Center, Schwitzer 207 (cash, check or credit card)
- Accounting Office, Esch 151 (cash, check or credit card)
- Unstaffed stations in Schwitzer Student Center and Krannert Memorial Library (cash only; you also may check your balance at these stations)
Crimson Cash Policies
- Your Crimson Cash balance will carry over until you are no longer enrolled at UIndy.
- Crimson Cash balances are non-refundable. Due to this policy, we strongly encourage students to actively monitor their Crimson Cash balances.
