In order to meet your campus dining needs, we have designed the following meal plans for the 2008-2009 academic year. To purchase or change a meal plan, or if you would like more information, please contact the Department of Residential Life at 507-389-1011.
This ultimate meal plan is the closest thing to having your own kitchen. This plan allows you unlimited access to the Gage and Carkoski Dining Halls. Stop by at 11:30 for a quick lunch on your way to class, return for a snack mid-afternoon, and stop by again for a soda before dinner begins with this ultra-flexible plan. You can also choose, instead, to put together a sack lunch to bring with you for your day or to take a hot meal back to your room.
The $50 per semester in Flex Dollars can be utilized at any dining location on campus. These Dollars carry over from fall semester to spring semester. Flex Dollars not used by the end of spring semester will be forfeited.
Meals associated with the Maverick Any Time plan may only be used by the student who purchased the plan, The Flex Dollars associated with the Maverick Any Time may be used to purchase a meal for your guest. Additional Flex Dollars may be purchased at any time.
The 14 meals per week plan appeals to students who may only eat two meals each day and want to snack, or to those who want to eat all of their meals during the week. This plan ensures that you have meals available to you in the dining halls every week of the semester. One meal may be used during each of the three meal periods-breakfast, lunch (or brunch on weekends), and dinner. Sack lunches and hot take-out meals are available on this plan as well.
The $125 per semester in Flex Dollars included with this plan can be utilized at any dining location on campus at any time of the day. These Dollars carry over from fall semester to spring semester. Flex Dollars not used by the end of spring semester will be forfeited.
Meals associated with the Maverick 14 plan may only be used by the student who purchased the plan, The Flex Dollars associated with the Maverick 14 may be used to purchase a meal for your guest. Additional Flex Dollars may be purchased at any time.
This plan offers the ultimate flexibility to customize your meal plan. Start out with an allotment of meals for the semester, then eat as many (or as few) meals each week as you would like-up to 160 meals for the entire semester. Plus, add the unique ability to convert any of the 160 meals a semester into flex dollars at a rate of $5 per meal, twice a semester (by November 30 for fall semester and April 30 for spring semester). With this plan, you can determine whether you want more traditional meals in the dining halls or greater flexibility with Flex Dollars to be used at any dining venue on campus-and even shift back and forth between the two. Also available is the ability to take a sack lunch or hot meal out of the dining hall. One meal may be used during each of the three meal periods-breakfast, lunch (or brunch on weekends), and dinner. Semesters are approximately 16 weeks long, resulting in an average of 10 meals per week.
Your converted Flex Dollars can be utilized at any dining location on campus at any time of the day. Converted Flex Dollars not used by the end of each semester will be forfeited. Additional Flex Dollars may be purchased at any time.
Each student is provided with an identification card (MavCard) upon enrolling at Minnesota State Mankato. When you purchase a meal plan and/or Flex Dollars, you will be able to access your meals and Flex Dollars with your MavCard. Should your MavCard get lost or stolen, a replacement can be obtained by going to the MavCard office located on the first floor or in the Centennial Student Union. A replacement fee will apply.
You never have to be too shy to ask for seconds at our resident dining halls. Our generous policy allows for a second helping of many menu favorites. All you have to do is ask! Please note, however, that there are some exceptions to our Seconds Policy. If you are on the Maverick Anytime plan and decide to use the carry out option for your meal, you will not be allowed to re-enter the dining hall until the next meal period.
Do you have particular dietary needs? No problem! Our University Dining Services staff can accommodate your special dietary requirements. For more information, please contact Bill Harvey at 507-389-2613.
It is our main goal is to provide a pleasant, clean, comfortable and satisfying dining experience. In order to meet this goal, we ask for your assistance.
