Meal Credits and Flex Points

Meal Plan Add-Ons

Call (401) 863-3343 or stop by our 144 Thayer St office for more info about these plans:

Pre-Fall Meal Plan. This plan for upperclass students offers "all you care to eat" service in the Sharpe Refectory from Saturday, August 31, 2013, through the start of the Fall 2013 Meal Plan.

Club Plan for Seniors. This option offers seniors an opportunity to enjoy the exceptional dining at the Brown Faculty Club. The plan is an add-on to any meal plan above, and it works like a debit system. Seniors on the Club Plan also enjoy the many benefits of Faculty Club membership without the usual fee. More info about the Club Plan.

Meal Plan during Semester Breaks. With the exception of multi-day recesses, service continues uninterrupted through both the Fall and Spring semesters. Meal plan contracts are not in effect between semesters, during spring break or over the summer. Brown Dining offers special meal plans during many breaks.

How Meals Work

Meals and Flex Points can sometimes become confusing topics. We'll try to make them simple:

Use your meals to get into all-you-care-to-eat dining halls.
You can also use a meal credit at a campus retail venue. A meal's value is a non-refundable $6.60. Pay any remaining balance with Flex Points or cash. Use up to 2 meal credits each day.
Weekly Meal Plans come with 20, 14, 10 or 7 meals per week. Weeks run from Friday breakfast to Thursday dinner. Use up to 3 meal per day. Unused meals do not carry over from week to week. Weekly Meal Plans come with 2 guest meals per semester and vary in their Flex Points.
Flex Meal Plans come with 230, 165, 120 or 25 meals per semester. They can be debited at any time during the semester. There is no limit on the number of meals that can be used per day other than the 2 meal credits per day limit that exists for all plans. Unused meals carry over from fall to spring semesters, but not from year to year. Flex Meal Plans vary in their respective guest meals and Flex Points.
Additional meals can always be added by purchasing Flex Points (1 meal = 6.60 points) by contacting the Brown Dining office.

How Flex Points Work

Here's the rundown on Flex Points:

1 Flex Point is equivalent to $1 at the register.
Use Points to pay for a bite to eat or a drink at campus retail venues and cafés.
Use Points to pay for food or supplies at the Campus Market or Little Jo's.
Use $6.60 in Points to eat at the Refectory or Verney-Woolley.
Use as many or as few Points each day as fit your appetite.

Students on meal plan who have run out of points can buy more at the Brown Dining office at 144 Thayer Street, behind the Ratty. Students can buy 25, 50, 75 or 100 Points. Use cash or a check, or charge it to your bursar account.
