The university offers an electronic student ID that can be used at dining locations on campus. Download the GET Mobile app to use it. To replace your student ID card please request a replacement ID on MyDenison.

We want to ensure that our first-year students are socializing and quickly finding a friend group. Having them get their meals together at the dining halls is one way we hope to build this community. Curtis and Huffman are more active sites for programming and events.

Students can check the balance of their dining plan, including swipes and Flex Dollars, using the GET Mobile app. Additional information is available on MyDenison.

The senior meal plan is intended to be very flexible. You can spend your Big Red Bucks off-campus, such as at Ross Granville Market (IGA) or local restaurants; and Slivy’s will also be stocked with groceries you can buy. In addition, we will bring back the ever-popular farmers markets so you can use your Flex Dollars to purchase items. We also have heard that seniors still appreciate the option to grab lunch and snacks in Slayter, Slivy’s, and the Nest, and this flexible senior meal plan allows them to do so.

Meal plans are designated based on a class year; however, sophomores and juniors could also select the first-year plan, and seniors can choose any of the plans.

Yes. Specific feedback is very important to see what options can be created to accommodate student needs. If you have ideas you’d like to share, please contact dining@denison.edu.

As you do now, you would directly communicate with the dining team about your needs. Please email dining@denison.edu for assistance.

Flex Dollars not used during the fall semester will roll to the student’s spring semester meal plan. Unused Flex Dollars are forfeited at the end of the academic year. Unused Denison Dollars will carry over to the next semester. Provided there are no outstanding debts to the university, unspent Denison Dollars can be refunded at the end of the academic year upon written request to Student Accounts (this happens automatically when a student graduates or withdraws from the university). Denison Dollars cannot be refunded mid-semester.

Swipes will reset at the beginning of each week, meaning the first-year and sophomore/junior plans will reset every Sunday.

Yes. The coolers located in King Hall, the Eisner Center, and the Mitchell Center accept Flex Dollars.

All Homesteaders regardless of class year, will be assigned the senior meal plan, allowing for maximum flexibility in purchasing groceries.
