Student Meal Plans

Students who live in Bethel housing, with the exception of Fountain Terrace and North Village, will be auto-assigned a Meal Plan: Freshman - 15-Meal Plan; Upper Class - 6-Meal Plan. If you wish to change your auto-assignment, go to: BLink (http://blink.bethel.edu), Campus Services tab, My Housing, and Meals, Dining. This change must take place before Tuesday, August 26.

Freshmen who have completed fewer than 30 credits and are living in Bethel housing may select either the 20-Meal Plan OR the 15-Meal Plan for the year.

Students who have completed 30 or more credits and are living in a residence hall or townhouse may select from the 20-Meal Plan, 15-Meal Plan, 10-Meal Plan, 6-Meal Plan, Block Plan, or On-Campus Flex.

Freshmen who are living in North Village or Fountain Terrace are still required to have the 20-Meal or 15-Meal Plan.

Each meal plan comes with Flex in addition to your weekly meals. Flex is a declining balance/food service account you draw against using your magnetized ID card. It can be used in Market Square (coffee shop) and the Dining Center (cafeteria). If you use all of your Flex dollars, you may add more Flex dollars to your meal plan at any time online. We sell Flex dollars in $50 increments at a 10 percent discount. Purchases are billed to your student account. You cannot carry a Flex balance without a food plan.

If you opt for no meal plan, you are free to use cash or check in either the Dining Center or Market Square.

Your meal week begins with breakfast on Friday and runs through dinner on Thursday. You can obtain your meal and Flex dollars balances at any cash register in Dining Services or by stopping by the Dining Services Office. Every Friday morning your count starts over. Meals do not carry from week to week.

The Dining Center is an all-you-can-eat format. Meals are not transferable in the Dining Center, and your card can only be swiped one time for each meal.
