Gold Plan

Silver Plan

Warrior Bucks can be added by visiting the Business Office located on the second floor of Salveson Hall or parents may call 641-585-8135. Adding Warrior Bucks is a good way to extend your meals without having to carry cash. As an added bonus, you receive ten percent extra for every $50 you put on your card.
Meal Exchange
As an added feature you may exchange meals in the Warrior Crossing, and Concessions under the following restrictions.
- Meals exchanged have no cash value and you must choose from the options on the posted menus at each location without substitution.
- One meal per meal period may be used during any given meal period with the purple and gold plans.
- Meal Periods are defined as follows:
- Breakfast: 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
- Lunch: 10:31 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Dinner: 3:01 p.m. to 10 p.m.
When you use meals for a meal period, it’s used for all locations on campus. For example, for you eat breakfast at 8 a.m. in the dining room, your next meal exchange is not available at any location until 10:01 a.m. You can use declining balance when meals are not available.
Meal plans are available during most dates when classes are in session. Please review the academic calendar for times when meal service will be limited or unavailable due to breaks.
