All residential students are required to participate in a meal plan which varies based on where you live on campus. Payment is made at the beginning of the each semester along with tuition and other fees. More Dollars is a prepaid spending account that is accepted at all dining locations on campus, the campus bookstore, all dining locations, select vending machines, Art & Design, Telecommunications, Health Services, and popular off-campus businesses.

Dining Dollars is a meal plan and can ONLY be used in dining halls. It can also be used to purchase pre-packaged food/beverage items. Flex dollars, on the other hand, can be used in vending machines, laundry machines, at the campus bookstore, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, public copiers, dining halls as well at off-campus Merchants.

You can purchase Flex Dollars and add them to your Connect Card at any time. You can purchase Flex Dollars with cash, check or credit card in the Student Accounts Office in Boyden Hall or online using a credit card. There are also three cash to card machines located in the Campus Center, Library and in East Campus Commons available to purchase Flex Dollars.

You can add funds to your student's meal plan by calling the Campus Access Office at (401) 874-2055. Please have your student's ID number ready. It is NOT their social security number. This number can be obtained from the term bill or the front of the student's ID card. There is a $25.00 minimum on all Visa and Mastercard Transactions.

If you have a block plan and run out of blocks before the end of the semester, you may purchase 10 blocks for $50.00 (a savings of $12.50) at CAS. You cannot add Dining Dollars or Guest Passes to your meal plan. You can however, increase your purchasing power by depositing and using Cardinal Cash on and off campus!

It is important to understand that Dining Dollars on higher priced plans are discounted compared to Dining Dollars on less expensive plans. For example, a Dining Dollar on the Freedom Gold plan costs approximately $2.46, whereas a Dining Dollar on the Freedom Platinum Plan costs approximately $2.15. This means that every Dining Dollar spent on the Freedom Gold plan is $0.31 that is not available after an upgrade to the Freedom Platinum plan.

The purchase of a full meal plan is required for all students living on the Midtown campus and in the New Westside Residence Hall on the Westside campus. Pinney Hall and Grasso Hall do not require the meal plan, as they are full apartments with kitchens. Students in Pinney and Grasso may choose to purchase full or partial meal plans if interested.

No, KSU does not offer a meal plan with its housing at this time. At the current time, our campus is a "retail campus." In our Student Center, we have many restaurants, including Krystal, Chik-Fil-A Express, a deli, Pete's Arena Pizza, Teriyaki Chicken, and Copper Chef. In addition, there is a Jazzman's Sandwich Shop in the Social Sciences Building, and Einstein Brothers' Bagels in the Burruss Building.
