Dining on campus isn’t one size fits all. Our meal plans were designed with you in mind. If you are looking to enjoy a meal with friends or just a snack on the go – we’ve got a plan to fit every appetite.
THINGS TO KNOW
Swipe Plans
Swipe Plans are built to give you the best value for your dollar on campus. These plans are open to the entire campus community. Whether you're a professor, commuter student or staff member of Ambrose University, we want YOU to experience great food!
Flex Dollars
Also known as 'Declining Balance', are available in our mandatory meal plans for residence students, amount depend on the meal plan purchased. Flex Dollars act as money on your student card and can be used at Origin coffee co. and eatery and the vending machines. Cannot be redeemed for cash. Residence students will have $150 loaded onto their accounts to use at Origin, Waves, Dominos, and at vending machines.
Meal Swipes
The building blocks of our meal plans are meal swipes, which are used at our cafeteria, The Calf. Once you have a Meal Plan, your student or faculty ID works like a debit card. Just swipe and go!
