What is Round Up?
Round Up for FSU gives customers at specific campus retail locations the opportunity to "Round Up" their purchases to the nearest quarter ($0.25). The difference is automatically donated to the FSU Food For Thought Student Food Pantry. Round Up is conducted solely on a voluntary basis, and only applies to point of sale purchases with credit, debit, or Dining Dollars.
What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at over 30 locations across campus! Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes, Cash Equivalency Meal Swipes, Guest Meal Swipes, a reusable Ozzi to-go container, and Dining Dollars. With everything available at the swipe of your FSUCard, no need to carry additional cards or cash!
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, Suwannee Room and Seminole Café. As a part of our efforts to provide variety, flexibility, and convenience, you may also exchange one meal swipe per day for a cash equivalency swipe at select retail locations on campus.
Dining Dollars
Dining Dollars may be used at any of the following locations:
Suwannee Room, Seminole Café, 4 Rivers Smokehouse, Argo Tea, Bento Sushi at 1851, Brooklyn Pizza, Chick-fil-A, C.O.E Café, The Den, Doctor's Inn, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Jolt Café. Legal Provisions, Pollo Tropical, Panda Express, Panera Bread, Provisions on Demand, Proof at FSU, Shake Smart, Starbucks Dirac, Starbucks Strozier, Starbucks at the Union, Halal Shack, Subway, Tally Mac Shack at 1851, Three Torches, Trading Post, Joe Mama's at 1851, and Vato Tacos at 1851.
Any unused Dining Dollars will roll over each semester until graduation or separation from the University. Dining Dollars are non-transferrable and non-refundable. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation
Cash Equivalency
The cash equivalency dining option provides students an opportunity to add variety to their daily meals by exchanging one meal swipe per day for a meal up to a $7.00 value at any of the following locations:
4 Rivers Smokehouse, Argo Tea, Bento Sushi at 1851, Brooklyn Pizza, Chick-fil-A, C.O.E Café, The Den, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Pollo Tropical, Panda Express, Panera Bread, Proof at FSU, Shake Smart, Halal Shack, Subway, Tally Mac Shack at 1851, Three Torches, Joe Mama's at 1851, and Vato Tacos at 1851. If the total transaction is more than $7.00, the remaining balance can be paid with another form of payment including Dining Dollars, FSUCash, or credit card.
For example:
You start the semester with the 100 Renegade plan to dine at Chick-fil-A on day 1. The ticket price is 10.99. You exchange one meal swipe for $7.00. You are now at 99 Swipes. You then pay the remaining balance of $3.99 with Dining Dollars.
Guest Meals
All Fall and Spring dining plans include three (3) guest passes per semester in addition to the total allotted meals that are already included in the dining plan. These three (3) guest passes may be used for a friend or family member in any all you care to eat dining venue. The dining plan holder whose name appears on the corresponding FSUCard must be present to redeem the guest pass. The dining plan holder should alert the cashier if they intend to use a guest pass swipe. Up to three (3) guest passes per semester may be donated to the FSU Food for Thought Pantry here. Any unused guest passes at the end of each semester will be forfeited and will not roll over to the next semester.
