Frequently Asked Questions

If your campus has Residential Mandatory Meal Plans, they expire on the last day of the academic year. The Flex dollars that come with these meal plans roll over from Fall semester to Spring semester but expire at the end of the Spring semester. Voluntary Meal Plans and Dining Dollars carry over from year to year as long as you are active on a University of Maine Campus.

When purchasing a voluntary meal plan or Dining Dollars, funds will be loaded within 24 hours of purchase. Meal plans for campuses with resident students are active on the first day of classes for most students. (If you are on campus early for athletics or other commitments, you can ask your activity leader or reach out to the General Manager).
