Do You Have a Special Diet?
Nutritional information is available for all menu items in
each dining facility and through Campus Dish for North Dining Hall. In addition, each location
provides low-fat, low-calorie entrees, salads,
yogurt, and other healthy options. For students who need to follow a
specific diet for health reasons, individually prepared meals can be
provided. Our campus dietitian is available to help with any questions,
concerns, healthy eating tips, fitness,
weight management, and eating disorders. You can reach the dietitian
by phone at 724-357-2570.
Understanding Flex, Meal Swipes, Crimson Cash, and More
Meal swipes pay for meals and have a cash equivalency that can sometimes be applied. It’s important to understand where you can use meal swipes, how they work, and how you can keep track of them.
What is Flex?
Flex is the additional money added to your meal plan to enhance your dining experience. Flex works like a prepaid credit card and is deducted off your I-Card when you swipe. The balance in your Flex account carries over from the fall semester
to the spring semester. However, at the end of the spring semester, the dining contract is concluded and any remaining Flex dollar balance is forfeited. If you run low on Flex, simply reload. Add more Flex online in
MyIUP or at the Office of Housing, Residential Living, and Dining.
Crimson Cash is accepted at most dining locations and is used like cash where it is accepted.
Deadline to Change Meal Plans
The deadline to submit meal plan change/cancellation requests is 4:30 p.m. on the Friday of the first week of each semester. After
that date, changes/cancellations will not be accepted. In addition,
once you select a meal plan, the charge for that meal plan will be added
to your student account immediately, and you will be responsible for
paying for the meal plan, regardless of whether the plan is used unless
canceled by the deadline date.
