Flex $

Flex dollars may be added to your account in $50 blocks at the University Housing Office, located in Loeser Hall or the Director's office located on the first floor of the University Center. Flex Dollars can be used to purchase food at any of our food service venues on either the Tahlequah or Broken Arrow campuses. These dollars are set up on a debit system so that your student ID works like a debit card. Flex Dollars add greater flexibility to our plans and are often used to pay for guests or for that late night meal.

Block Plan of 80 Meals + $100 Flex Block Plan of 80 Meals + $100 Flex A block of 80 meals and 100 flex dollars. May be used at your discretion in The Market Cafe during the semester.

It is possible to trade a café visit for a designated combo meal at most of our retail venues on the main campus. When you do a “meal trade” you can swap a café visit for one of the rotating combo meals offered at a retail venue. This helps students conserve flex dollars, adds flexibility and variety to our plans, and comes in handy if you are across campus from the dining hall when you need a quick convenient meal. Each meal trade requires a small convenience fee and meal trades are only available during normal Market Café meal periods.

How do I pick the best Meal Plan for me?

The residential meal plans above include a set number of visits per week to the Market Café, our main dining facility. (ie. 16 Meals Per Week) This is the maximum number of café visits per week allowed on each plan. You can still access the café if you exceed your predetermined number of visits, however you must pay with cash, credit card, or flex dollars for each visit beyond that weekly allowance. The most appropriate meal plan will vary based on the individual and their lifestyle and dining habits.

Block Plans offer the most freedom and flexibility for student meals. They are basically a block of meals that work similarly to a debit card. As meals are used, they are deducted from the total. Students can enter The Market Cafe as many times as they want and have the freedom to use their meals for their friends, family, or other guests. This type of plan requires some budgetary responsibility for optimum use. It is possible for students to use up all their meals before the end of the semester. Unused meals expire at the end of the semester.
