SPU Point Balances. SPU Point balances will carry forward through Spring Quarter, provided you remain on a metal meal plan; however, SPU points cannot be used during breaks. Access to SPU points ends at 5 pm on the Friday before Commencement; any remaining balance will be forfeited. If a student cancels his or her metal meal plan, he or she forfeits any remaining SPU Points at that time.

Advantage Point Balances. Unused Advantage Points will carry from quarter to quarter and year to year. If no activity is recorded on an account for three consecutive quarters, any remaining Advantage Points will be forfeited. Advantage Points purchased on your housing contract do not automatically renew at the end of the quarter; you may renew them at your discretion in OUS or online via the Banner Information System. Points must be purchased in $1 increments with a $15 minimum. No refunds are given on Advantage Points.

Block Meal Plan Balances. Unused Blocks will carry from quarter to quarter and year to year. If no activity is recorded on an account for three consecutive quarters or if you change to a metal meal plan, any remaining Blocks will be forfeited. Block 25 and Block 50 plans purchased on your housing contract do not automatically renew at the end of the quarter; you may renew them at your discretion in OUS or online via the Banner Information System. No refunds are given on Block meal plans.

Meal Plan Changes. Residents may change their meal plans in OUS according to the following schedule. No meal plan change requests will be accepted outside of these dates:

Special Dietary Needs. If you have a special diet or food allergy, contact Campus Dining at 206-281-2225 to discuss options to meet your needs. Medical documentation will be required. A wide selection of vegetarian items is offered at all meals, but strict vegans may find the choices restrictive. Students with dietary needs that are unable to be met by Campus Dining should consider living in a campus apartment where a meal plan is not required.

Schedule Conflicts. If your class, work schedule, or athletic program conflicts with your meal plan, contact Campus Dining at 206-281-2225 for assistance. They will discuss alternative options to meet your needs.

 

Sick Tray. If you are ill and confined to your room, a friend may bring you a meal from Crossroads at Gwinn Commons. Send your campus ID card with your friend to receive the meal.
