What Is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at over 30 locations across the Tampa and St. Petersburg campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Dining Dollars, conveniently loaded onto your USF ID that you can use on BOTH campuses. No need to carry additional cards or cash!
Meal Swipes give you access to any of our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls: The Hub, Juniper Dining, and The Nest.
You may also use one of your allotted meal swipes per day at Flip Kitchen, Bay Coffee and Tea Company, or Restaurant Rotation, located in Argos Exchange, Juniper Flip Kitchen located in The Corner Market and 727 Eats located in The Reef. The Meal Swipe, also called the Flexi-Bull Swipe includes one entrée and one fountain beverage. Please note that the Flexi-Bull Swipe will be deducted from your weekly or block plans as you use it, just like regular meal swipes.
Dining Dollars may be used at any USF Dining location on both the Tampa and St. Petersburg campus. Visit ourlocations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation.
