How the Meal Plans Work

Roussell Dining Hall serves as the primary location for students to use their meal plans. Meal plans operate on a weekly basis, beginning Friday morning and ending Thursday evening. Unused meal swipes do not roll over to the next week - all meal counts reset every Friday.

Daily Meal Swipes

Resident students may use up to four (4) meal swipes per day Monday through Friday, and three (3) meal swipes per day on Saturday and Sunday. Swipes can be used during any meal period: breakfast, lunch, or dinner, providing flexibility throughout the day. Meal swipes reset every Friday.

Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars give students the flexibility to enjoy meals, snacks, and beverages at various campus dining locations beyond Roussell Dining Hall. Dining Dollars can be used at:

  • Union Market
  • Bucky’s Cove
  • Bites & Blendz
  • Dunkin’
  • Jimmy John’s
  • Rice & Spice
  • Roussell Dining Hall (Grab & Go) 

Dining Dollars hold a dollar-for-dollar value and expire at the end of each semester. Additional Dining Dollars can be added online through the GET Mobile app by CBORD (available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store) or by visiting get.barry.edu.

Meal Plan Equivalency Program

Students can use one of their weekly meal swipes to enjoy a combo meal through the Meal Plan Equivalency Program. Combo meals are available at Bites & Blendz and Roussell Grab & Go, allowing students to swap a meal swipe for a quick, convenient to-go option. All other campus dining locations accept Dining Dollars, Flex Bucks, cash, credit, or debit.
