Dining Dollars allow you to create a tax-free declining balance account for food and beverage purchases.

A Flex Account is a similar, although not tax-free, account that can be used at on-campus dining locations, the University Bookstore, select vending machines, the self-service copiers in the libraries, and on-campus laundry facilities. Flex Accounts are also accepted at many off-campus establishments, including restaurants, grocery stores, and drug stores, and can be used to order takeout through GrubHub.

An overview of locations, hours, dining plans, Dining Dollars, and Flex is available on the Dining Services website. You can sign up for Dining Dollars and/or a Flex Account in SSOL, in person at 118 Hartley Hall or 204 Kent Hall, or with a cashier at any on-campus dining location.
