Commuter/Voluntary Meal Plans

Commuter and voluntary meal plansare smaller than residential meal plans and are designed for use by students who commute, live in Alikut Hall or Eocene Apt, faculty, staff, and others. Mountaineer Meal Plan meals and Mountaineer Bucks can be used anytime during the academic year. Commuter plans do not expire at the end of each term – they are available for use until the last day of the Spring term. Unused meals/Mountie Bucks roll-over to the new term. If at any time during the academic year you run out of meals, you may simply purchase another meal plan. Commuter plans are an excellent option for:

  • Full-time students who commute to campus
  • Part-time students who commute to campus
  • Residents who live in Alikut Hall or Eocene Apartments
  • Faculty and staff
  • Frequent visitors to the EOU campus

Dining FAQ

Where and when can I eat?

Students can use their block meals in Mountie Café, EOU’s all-you-care-to-eat dining facility, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and in Mac’s Grill for dinner after 7:00 pm.

What’s the difference between meals and flex dollars?

Meals are mostly used upstairs in Mountie Café, though they can be used for specified dinner items in Mac’s Grill after 7:00 PM. Each time a student uses a meal, it is deducted from their balance, similar to a gift card.
Flex dollars are available for use in Mac’s Grill to purchase breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as Starbucks coffee, snacks, drinks, and other items from the convenience store. Flex dollars may also be used for additional or guest meals in Mountie Café. Whenever flex dollars are used, they are deducted from a student’s balance, similar to a gift or debit card.

Do my meals/flex dollars roll over to the next term if I don’t use them?

No, they do not. The dining plans are set up with different options for meals and flex dollars to accommodate student preferences on how and where to eat. If a resident finds that they are using meals more than flex dollars or vice versa, they can change their meal plan to accommodate their preference within the first two weeks of any term.

Can I change my Meal Plan?

Yes, these can be adjusted within the first two weeks of each term. The student will simply contact the Resident Life office at (541) 962-3553 orreslife@eou.eduand request to change their meal plan to accommodate their preference.

What if I’m a vegetarian/vegan/have an allergy/have a medical condition with a specific diet?

Vegetarian options are available at meals. Residents with more specific needs can work with EOU Dining Services on an individual basis to meet their dietary needs. Register online withSodexoor to talk about your dietary needs please contact Ron Wheeler, CDM, CFPP,Ronald.Wheeler@sodexo.comor (541) 962-3702.

How do I get meals and/or use my flex dollars?

Residents will use their student ID to get meals from Mountie Café or make purchases from Mac’s Grill. Your balances are kept track of through the magnetic stripe on the back of your ID, the same as a gift card or debit card. Tracking your meal and flex dollar balance can be done.
