All Things Dining
September is flying by! There is a lot happening so we wanted to send out a few quick Dining Plan reminders.
Meal Swipes - Students with the Stryker Classic or Stryker Deluxe Dining Plans all have Meal Swipes. Meal Swipes can be used in Whitney Center (Main Dining Room & Badger Street Subs) and in the Student Union.
In the Student Union, students are limited to 2 Meal Swipes per day. Meal Swipes can be used at select locations during specific times. Please see the list below.
Breakfast @ Stryker's Cafe (Monday - Friday, 7:30am-10:00am)
Grilled It (Monday - Thursday, 1:00pm-8:00pm, Meal Swipes are not accepted on Friday, Saturday - Sunday, 11:30am-7:00pm), and Sono (Monday - Friday, 11:00am-8:00pm).
If you do not remember which Dining Plan your student currently has, you can see that information in the Get Mobile app. Or, you can contact the UWL Card office at 608-785-8891 or uwlcardoffice@uwlax.edu.
Dining Dollars - Students with the Stryker Classic or Stryker Deluxe also have Dining Dollars. These can be used at ALL dining locations across campus, including the coffee shops in Centennial Hall and Murphy Library. Students can also use their Dining Dollars in both convenience stores on campus to stock up on items for their dorm room or for a special treat. Please keep in mind that Dining Dollars expire at the end of the semester. They do not carry over to Spring Semester.
Additional Dining Plan information can also be found at the Dining Plans website.
