2024-2025 Plan Options

Whether you’re on the go and need a quick snack or in the mood to relax and enjoy a full meal, we have four fantastic LION Plans which are sure to meet your needs.

All LION plans are credited to the student’s OneCard in semester increments.

Dining on campus with LION Dollars comes with big savings! All LION plans are tax-exempt and offer a considerable amount of savings throughout the year versus paying with Flexi, credit and cash. What does that mean? It means that every food purchase is tax-free, so you're saving almost 10% with each food purchase.

Lion Dollars: Tax-free dollars you can spend on food anywhere on campus. The balances of LION Dollars carry forward from fall to spring semesters, but do not carry forward from one academic year to the next.
