How does the meal plan work?
When you move in you will receive a Residence Card (with your picture on it). If you are in Lister for the full academic year, the card is “loaded” with half the amount of your entire meal plan amount that you chose – the other half will be added just before the end of the first semester. If your contract to live in Lister is for one term, the entire amount is loaded onto the card. You can use this card at various locations on campus like a bank/debit card – every time you pay, you swipe the card and the money is debited from your account. There is no strict food regiment in place. For more information on Residence Dining Plans, please click here.
Your meal plan is accessed with your RacerCard. To make a dining purchase, all you need to do is swipe the card. Meals on 180 & 240 Plans: These meal-only plans may use one meal per meal period – breakfast, lunch, dinner – at Winslow Dining Hall and are eligible for meal exchange*. Residents of White, Regents and all upperclassmen may use their meal-only plan at the Thoroughbred Room. Meals on 125/300 & 175/400 Plans: The meals can only be used at Winslow Dining and are not eligable for meal exchange*, but there are no limitations on how many meals may be used per meal period. For example, you may eat twice within the lunch period or you may use more than one meal at a time for occasions when you’d like to treat friends and family at Winslow. Flex Dollars can be used like cash at any dining location on campus and are not subject to Kentucky sales tax. Six percent savings on everything! *Meal Exchange is using an allotted meal on a meal-only plan to make a retail dining purchase on camp
