You are the only person allowed to use your Meal Card and you can only use one meal per meal period. Guest Meals are sold at the host’s desk in front of Welles Dining Hall. You may, however, treat a friend in the Welles Dining Hall, Richardson Room or Book Club, using K Cash.

All residents, except those in campus apartments or Living Learning Housing Units, are required to carry a meal plan. Meal Plans allow you to enjoy the convenience of on-campus dining, as well as these other great benefits:

• Guaranteed all-you-can-eat meals & flexibility of grab’n’go items
• No worries about carrying cash
• Minutes from great food and comfortable locations

Your meal plan allows you a set number of meals per week – 20, 15, or 10 meals per term. Your weekly meal allowance gives you the opportunity to enjoy all-you-care-to-eat dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Welles Dining Hall. In addition, the Flex Meal Exchange allows students access to combo meal options located in the Richardson Room from 10 a.m.-12 a.m. and in the Book Club from 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Each time you eat in one of the three venues, one meal is subtracted from your weekly meal allowance.

K Cash is a supplement to the weekly meal allowance, and can be used in the Welles Dining Hall, Richardson Room, and the Book Club. It works like a bank debit card; each time you make a purchase the total dollar amount is subtracted from the balance in your account. The amount of K Cash depends on what meal plan you choose and its for the term. Any unused K Cash will be rolled over from term term, and at the end of the spring quarter any unused K Cash is forfeited.

Once selected, meal plan assignments can only be changed online at using the change my meal plan request form, through Thursday of the first week of the quarter. Please note that the above link is only active during the meal plan change periods. To avoid confusion in assignments or billing, changes cannot be made by other persons at other times or by other offices. If a change is made, a credit or new billing will be reflected on the student account. For questions about billing please email billing@kzoo.edu.

Resident meal plans meals are good for a one week period. They don’t carry over from one week to the next. It’s key to select the best plans for your schedule and your dining styles so you get the max from your dining plan.

The Eatable app is a feature that comes along with any Kalamazoo College Meal plan. It is a free download available for android or apple. The Eatable app allows students to check how many meals they used for the week, view the weekly Welles Dining Hall Menu, and load their student I.D. card right on to their phone. You do not have to download the Eatable app, but it is a great tool for students and we recommend you do.
