Guest Swipes are meals that a students guest can use to access our residential dining locations. Traditional Resident & Campus Apartment Resident students on a meal plan can use 5 Guest Swipes per semester.

Meal Exchanges renew each week on Sunday at midnight. Unused meal exchanges from the previous week will not roll over into the following week.

Points renew at the beginning of each semester automatically. Unused points from the fall semester will rollover into the spring semester. Any unused points at the end of the spring semester will expire and will not rollover into the fall semester.

At the end of each week throughout the semester, the student will receive 5 meal exchanges to use throughout the week. At the start of the spring semester, the student will have $175 Points plus any remaining points from the fall semester.
