Meal Plans and FLEX

Dining Services offers a number of options to select from for students who want / need a mealplan. For current pricing please see our Housing and Meal Plan Rates page.

Meal plans come with either $250 or $300 of FLEX points. Plan code "1" comes with $250 and plan code "2" comes with $300.

Meal plans from the Fall semester are automatically reassigned for the Spring semester and any unused FLEX is carried over. Any unused FLEX at the end of the Spring semester is forfeited.

Adding Flex

Flex dollars (Flex points) purchased for the Fall and Spring semesters must be added on MyHousing.

Once in MyHousing select Dining and in the drop down box select Purchase Points. Select continue and on the next screen enter the amount of Flex points you want to purchase (i.e. $100 Flex dollars you would enter as 100). Select submit to add the Flex and then log out of MyHousing.

• Flex dollars added after the first week of the fall and spring semesters must be paid within 10 days. If not paid a hold could be placed on the student account.
• Flex dollars added on MyHousing will generate a charge on the student account in MyHusky within 5 days.
• Flex dollars added on MyHousing will be available to use in the dining halls within 8 hours
• Students can view Flex balances at the BU Card Center's Online Card Center website: http://cardcenter.bloomu.edu
• Flex dollar balances carry over from Fall to Spring semesters only. Any balance remaining at the end of the Spring semester is non-refundable and non-transferable.
• Flex dollars are non-refundable except when a student withdraws from the University during the semester. A $10.00 fee will be charged for students who withdraw from the University and the Flex program.

Important: Students who selected a meal plan will automatically be credited with the Flex points associated with the selected meal plan. Voluntarily adding flex points should only be done by students selecting a Flex Only Plan or students with a meal plan who are low on their original credit of flex points associated with their meal plan.
