MEALS

Let's start simple. You can use your meals at three locations on campus; Towers Landing, Houck's Place, and St. Vincent's Commons.

• Your meals for the entire semester are pre-loaded onto your Southeast Student ID card. This means you're all set to enjoy your meals without the hassle of carrying extra cards or cash.
• You can use your meal plan multiple times during a single visit. So, if you're craving a big breakfast or a late-night snack, your meal plan has you covered.
• You can also use a meal to pay for a guest, making it easy to share a meal and quality time with your off-campus friends or loved ones.

Flex dollars vs. Redbucks

Flex dollars come with your meal plan and are stored on your Student ID.  They are like your flexible dining currency. They offer you a dollar-for-dollar value and can be used at any dining location on campus. Flex can be used at any campus dining location to buy additional meals, snacks, or drinks. Don't foget, flex dollars automatically transfer to your spring semester meal plan, so you can continue to dine with ease.

Redbucks are like your secret weapon. If you run out of flex dollars, you can always purchase and use Redbucks! ! That goes for commuters too. If you commute to campus, save yourself the trouble of using your wallet and purchase redbucks! They roll over from one semester to the next, so you can build up your balance over time. To get your redbucks, simply purchase your desired amount and have it loaded onto your Southeast Student ID card. You can do this at the SEMO Dining Main office or online at dineoncampus.com/semo.

Things to remember:

• Meal Plan Requirement: If you're living on campus, keep in mind that you're required to have a meal plan as per your housing contract.
• Meal Plan Changes: Any changes to your meal plan must be made through Residence Life.
• Special Dietary Needs: If you have dining restrictions, food allergies, or questions about eating healthy on campus, Molly Clark, our campus nutritionist, is here to help. Reach out to her at nutrition@semo.edu.
• Keep an Eye on Your Balance: Your Student ID serves as your "credit card" at SEMO Dining locations. To check your balance, simply visit the Chartwells balance within the Student SS tab in your portal.

When you're ready to select your meal plan, here's how to go about it:

• Select with Housing: If you're living on campus, you can choose your meal plan when you're selecting your housing. It's all part of the package!
• Meals Only Contract: If you prefer a meals-only plan, you can purchase it through Residence Life.
• Add More Redbucks: Want to boost your dining power even further? You can easily add redbucks to your account.
