Swipes

Meal Swipes

Meal Swipes give you access to any of our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, Towers Café. A Warrior Pass plan comes with unlimited meal swipes, a Weekly plan includes 15 meal swipes per week that reload every Monday morning at breakfast, and a Block plan comes with an allotted amount of meal swipes that expire at the end of each semester. Meal swipes included in Create-Your-Own plans roll over from fall semester to winter semester, but will expire at midnight on the last day of final exams during the winter semester. Meal swipes included in all other plans do not roll over from semester to semester.
