Housing Residence Life - University of Louisville

We want eating on campus to be easy and convenient. Each fall and spring semester, every student living on campus is automatically assigned
a meal plan. A meal plan is a pre-paid account used to eat on campus with a simple swipe of your Cardinal Card. (Plans can differ based on
whether or not a student has a kitchen in their residence hall room). The meal plan is loaded on your student ID and becomes active the day you
move to campus. Meal plans are comprised of meals and flex points. Meals may be used at the all-you-care-to-eat dining hall Ville Grill, or for
breakfast and lunch combos across campus at Global Market. One meal is valid for one entrance to Ville Grill or one combo at Global Market.
Meals expire at the end of each semester. Flex points are a dollar-for-dollar declining balance-type account that is accepted at any on-campus
dining location. Flex points earn an automatic 6 percent discount with each purchase. Flex points roll over from fall to spring semester and expire
after spring finals.
