Block plans provide the
convenience of a pre-determined number of meals for the entire semester. Some students worry about missed meals during the week if they are on a Traditional Plan - no need to worry with a Block Plan because the number of meals in the plan are "blocked" for the entire semester. These plans also have the added flexibility of permitting friends or family to dine on your plan.

Flex Dollars & Viking Bucks - Flex Dollars & Viking Bucks are prepaid cash value credits that permit students to purchase meals and other food items without having to carry cash. The credits are accessible by scanning the student ID cards. Flex Dollars and Viking Bucks may be used in the Ordal Dining Room, the Viking Huddle, and to order pizza from the local Domino's.
Flex Dollars - Flex Dollars are a feature built into most meal plans. Flex Dollars do not carry over from fall to spring semesters because they are part of the meal plan for a particular academic term.
Viking Bucks - Viking Bucks spends just like Flex Dollars but is purchased separate from a meal plan. In fact, Viking Bucks can be purchased and used by anyone who has a college ID card, whether they have a meal plan or not. Card holders have the flexibility to add Viking Bucks to their accounts at any time during the academic year and receive an additional 15% in purchasing power. In other words, for every $1.00 purchased, $1.15 in food credits will be applied to the card. Viking Bucks purchases can be paid by check, cash, or credit card, as well as charged to the student's school account. Student Viking Bucks balances can be carried over from fall to spring semesters, but must be used by the end of the academic year or the cash value will be forfeited. |
