Meal Plans

In order to meet your campus dining needs, we have designed the following meal plans for the 2007-2008 academic year. Each plan offers all-you-care-to-eat access to Anna Irvin Dining Hall. If you need to purchase a meal plan, or if you would like to make a change to the plan you have already selected please contact us at 205-665-6260.

Flex Dollars
Flex Dollars are real money that comes with each dining plan. Flex dollars are added to your meal card and can be used at Jazzman’s, at the café door to treat a friend to a meal or to eat additional meals over your meal plan. For example, say you have a 5 meal plan and want to eat additional meals in the café that week, or you come back during the same meal time to eat again, the dollar value of the door price will be deducted from the card. Flex Dollar purchases are tax free, stretching your money even further.

• Your Flex Dollars are in your dining account and all you need to do is present your ID card to make a purchase. Your flex dollar balance is provided each time you use your card.
• Adding additional money to your flex account is easy. Stop by the xxxxxxxx Building to add to your account.
• Flex Dollars are non-refundable and balances do carry over from semester to semester.
