Mountaineer Meal Plan meals and Flex Dollars can be used anytime during the academic year. Commuter plans do not expire at the end of each term &#8211; they are available for use until the last day of the Spring term. Unused meals\/Flex Dollars roll-over to the new term. If at any time during the academic year you run out of meals, you may simply purchase another meal plan.

They can also use their flex dollars to get breakfast and grab a morning Sorbenots coffee, or lunch, or get something to eat on the go in Mac\u2019s Grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-eastern-navy-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/reslife\/dining\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">Hours Of Operation<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the difference between meals and flex dollars?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mountie Caf\u00e9, located upstairs, is the main dining area where Block meals are served for All-you-Care-To-Eat style dining. However, after 7:00 PM, specified Block dinner items can also be enjoyed at Mac\u2019s Grill. Each time a student has a meal, it is deducted from their balance, which works like a gift card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flex dollars can be used to buy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Mac\u2019s Grill, as well as Sorbenots coffee, snacks, drinks, and other items from the convenience store. Additionally, flex dollars can also be used for extra or guest meals at the Mountie Caf\u00e9. Whenever flex dollars are used, they are deducted from the student&#8217;s balance, similar to a gift or debit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do my meals\/flex dollars roll over to the next term if I don\u2019t use them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, they do not. The dining plans are set up with different options for meals and flex dollars to accommodate student preferences on how and where to eat. If a resident finds that they are using meals more than flex dollars or vice versa, they can change their meal plan to accommodate their preference within the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">first two weeks of any term<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I change my Meal Plan?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, these can be adjusted within the first two weeks of each term. The student will simply contact the Resident Life office at <a href=\"tel:5419623553\">(541) 962-3553<\/a> or <a href=\"mailto:reslife@eou.edu\">reslife@eou.edu<\/a> and request to change their meal plan to accommodate their preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I\u2019m a vegetarian\/vegan\/have an allergy\/have a medical condition with a specific diet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegetarian options are available at meals. Residents with more specific needs can work with EOU Dining Services on an individual basis to meet their dietary needs. Call to talk about your dietary needs please call <a href=\"tel:541-962-3702\">(541) 962-3702<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get meals and\/or use my flex dollars?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents will use their student ID to get meals from Mountie Caf\u00e9 or make purchases from Mac\u2019s Grill. Your balances are kept track of through the magnetic stripe on the back of your ID, the same as a gift card or debit card.&nbsp; Tracking your meal and flex dollar balance can be done.
