Residents
Our resident meal plans are designed to meet the unique needs of students living in our traditional resident halls, who are required to purchase a meal plan. Our resident plans come with varying amounts of meal swipes to be used primarily in the Dining Hall, and Bonus Dollars, which is a declining balance account similar to a debit card. Each plan also comes with the meal exchange option where you can use a meal swipe at select retail dining locations for a predefined entree, side and beverage option. Multiple resident meal plan options are available for you to choose from based on your dining preferences and needs.

Meal Swipes
One Meal Swipe equals one set meal containing an entrée, a side, and a drink.
Think of a Meal Swipe as your "ticket" to a meal at an event - they do not have a Dollar Value.
Examples of what 1 Meal Swipe can purchase:
At Casey’s - A Burger, a side of Fries, and a Fountain Drink
At Lonnstrom - Admission into our all-you-care-to-eat Dining Hall
At Massry (through Grubhub) - A Quesadilla, an apple, and a Fountain Drink
Locations it can be used at:
Lonnstrom, Casey’s, and Massry
Keep in mind that not all food items in Casey's accept Meal Swipes.
For instance, Sushi and Acai Bowls are items that can only be purchased with Bonus Dollars.

FAQs
Do Bonus Dollars and Meal Swipes carry over to the next Semester?
Bonus Dollars roll over from the Fall to Spring Semester. Unused Bonus Dollars at the end of the academic year (Spring Semester) will be forfeited. Meal Swipes do not roll over to the next semester. Meal swipes reset every Semester.
What if I run out of Bonus Dollars or Meal Swipes during the Semester?
Additional meal swipes can be purchased in blocks of 5, 10, 20, and 50 at the Saint Card Office or online at https://get.cbord.com/siena/full/login.php. Bonus Dollars can also be added to your Saint Card via the same website.
What can I buy with a Meal Swipe?
Meal Swipes provide access to all-you-care-to-eat dining at Lonnstrom Dining Hall, Massry Sit-Down Dinner, or specific combo meals (entrée + side + drink) at retail spots like Casey’s and Massry on Grubhub. Bonus Dollars act like a declining balance debit card for any and all on-campus dining locations. Certain locations like ‘We Proudly Serve Starbucks’, Bernie's C-Store, and Sushi at Casey’s, only accept Bonus Dollars.
Can I change my Meal Plan?
Yes! Students can change their meal plan within the first 14 days of each semester as well as between semesters. You will be able to make those changes in your Siena Housing Portal.
