Meal Plans
In order to meet your campus dining needs, we have designed the following meal plans for the 2011 - 2012 academic year. Each plan offers access to Anna Irvin Dining Hall, a buffet-style cafeteria.
- If you live on campus and need to purchase or make a change to your meal plan, please visit the Housing & Residence Life Office in West Main Hall, or call them at 205-665-6235. The balance for residents’ meal plans does not roll over to the next semester.
- If you are a commuter, faculty, or staff, you can purchase a meal plan from the cashier in the cafeteria with cash or check. If you prefer to use a credit card, call or visit the Sodexo Office, which is located in the breezeway across from the Anna Irvin entrance to the cafeteria. Reach us by phone at 205-665-8233. The balance for commuter, faculty, and staff meal plans rolls over to the next semester.
Flex Dollars
Flex Dollars come with some dining plans. Flex Dollars are added to your meal card and can be used at on-campus dining locations such as WOW, Starbucks, Ollie’s, and at the cafeteria to treat a friend to a meal or to eat additional meals not included in your meal plan. For example, if you have Meal Plan D (5 meals a week) and want to eat additional meals in the cafeteria that week, or if you come back during the same meal time to eat again, the dollar value of the door price will be deducted from the card.
- 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 Sodexo Office to add money to your account.
Flex Dollars are non-refundable.

Meal Plan FAQ
Q. Can I use my points to
eat extra meals in the Caf?
A. Yes. Perhaps you have a 5 meal/week plan, but
you need to eat 6 or 7 meals one week. You can use your
Flex Points to eat in the Caf.
Q. Can I come into the Caf more than one time during a meal?
A. Yes. The second time
you enter the cafeteria during the same meal, you will need to tell the
cashier to use your Flex Points.
Q. What happens to my Flex Points if I withdraw from school?
A. Points are not dollars. They are like unused meals. You will receive a prorated portion of your
balance, according to UM's policy.
