Discounted Spring Break meals available
A special 14-meal Spring Break dining package is available for purchase on the GET app. With the package priced at $87.50, that’s like getting 4 meals free!
Important: If you’d like to order dining hall meals during this weekend (3/20-21) and pay using a 14-meal Spring Break meal swipe, be sure to buy your 14-meal package by Thursday (3/18) to ensure these funds are ready to use. Packages purchased between Friday–Sunday will be activated on Monday (3/22). If you miss the cut-off this weekend, you can buy individual meals at $8.75 each by visiting the dining hall. The dining hall accepts Flexi Dollars, credit cards, and Slug Meals.
The last day to purchase this package is Tuesday, March 23. Plan to use up all 14 meal swipes by Saturday, March 27. Spring quarter 5-Day and 7-Day Meal Plans will activate on Sunday morning, March 28.
Dining halls will not use GET during break
The GET app will not be available for dining hall to-go meal orders during the break. To pick up a meal, visit your nearest dining hall and present your student ID to the cashier. GET app meal ordering and late night dining will resume on Sunday, March 28.
