Flex passes and points come with the Ultimate and Value meal plans. Only flex passes come with the Custom meal plan. If you want to add on points to the Custom meal plan or you are a student in on/off campus apartments/commuting and would like a points account, you can submit your request by filling out our online form. The use of residential meal plan flex passes and points begins on the first day of service in the dining halls and ends on the last day of service for each semester.
