What is a Meal Plan?

A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at four locations across campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Badger Bucks, conveniently loaded onto your Badger ID. No need to carry additional cards or cash!   New for fall 2020, use your meal plan swipes at McKinney's.


Swipes

Meal Swipes

Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, the Market Place at the Student Center as well as McKinney's, also located in the Student Center.

Badger Bucks

Badger Bucks may be used at any Spring Hill Dining location. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation. Badger Bucks associated with meal plans do not carry over to the next semester and will expire at the end of the semester they were purchased for.
