Residential Meal Plan Guidelines
- Every time a student enters The Hawk Dining Room, they will be charged a meal swipe.
- Students MUST present a valid form of I.D. when entering The Hawk.
- Students MAY NOT give their I.D. to someone else to use their meal plan.
- Meals can only be used by the purchaser and are intended for individual use only.
- To treat a friend, students can use their Raider Cash or Guest Passes.
- If they use up their weekly meal allowance, students may use their Raider Cash or Guest Passes to purchase additional meals in The Hawk.
- Raider Cash can be used in all dining locations on campus.
- Raider Cash carries over from term to term but does not carry over into Summer.
- If a student’s Raider Cash runs low, they may add more to their account online at the Campus Card Center or over the phone (541-552-6042) with cash, credit card, check or charge to their student account.
- Students should remember to use their plan wisely. Account balances can be checked at any time, including at any dining location’s register.
- Meal Swipes can be used in The Hawk Dining Hall or at Elmo’s Grill. For The Hawk, one swipe is equivalent to one all you care to eat meal. For Elmo’s Grill, a meal swipe is equivalent to one entrée, one side, and a fountain drink.
- Raider Cash is offered in addition to meal swipes to provide additional dining choices on campus and should be used to supplement the meals offered in the Meal Plans.
