There is a 30-minute rule between swipes for students with traditional meal plans
(
10-Meal, 15-Meal, 15-Meal Plus, Unlimited and Unlimited Plus
). Therefore, if you would like to swipe again for an additional meal, you have to
wait 30-minutes. This rule was implemented to avoid longer wait times and misuse of
meal plans (for example, swiping for non-meal plan holders).
How do I change my meal plan?
To change your meal plan, please visit the
Housing Contract portal
and select "Meal Plan Change Request" from the portal's banner. Select your new plan
from the drop downs.
Your change will take place within 2-3 working days.
You may lower your meal plan at any time before the 11th day of class. However, you
can increase your meal plan at any point during the semester.
I just bought a plan. When does it go into effect?
It takes between one and three business days for your new plan to be added to your
student ID. However, you can show the Contract Status page in the Housing Contacting
Portal to the cashier at the dining hall to eat immediately. You will not have access
to Dining Dollars or meal trades until the meal plan is on your student ID.
When do meal swipes reset each week?
Meal swipes reset again on Sunday morning each week.
Please visit the
Dine on Campus website
for more dining information.
Meal Swipes
Meal swipes
are used at the two all-you-care-to-eat dining halls Pomfret Dining Hall and Fulbright
Dining Hall, 1021 Food Hall (with 9 locations inside), and at restaurants across campus
during specified time frames.
When using Meal Swipes at restaurants like Chick-Fil-A, Eureka Pizza, Paper Lantern
and more, you can Meal Swipe once per meal period during the specified Meal Swipe
time. Therefore, you can Meal Swipe at our participating restaurants (during the specified
time frame) once at breakfast, once at lunch, and once at dinner.
To see a list of restaurants and the time periods where you can use your Meal Swipe,
please visit this link
.
With Traditional Plans, your Meal Swipes are for the week and reset every Sunday (Meal
Swipes do not rollover from week-to-week). For Block Plans, your Meal Swipes are for
the semester.
Dining Dollars
Dining Dollars
work just like cash at all Food on The Hill locations. They give you the flexibility
to grab a snack and meal when you can’t use a Meal Swipe at a restaurant. Use them
all? Don’t worry – you can reload them in increments of $50, $75 or $100. Email
housing@uark.edu
with your name, student ID and the amount of Dining Dollars you want to add.
