How does it work?
- Select the plan that fits your lifestyle. Meal swipes are loaded onto your campus card for easy access.
- Depending on your plan, you’ll have a set number of meal swipes per day or week, which can be exchanged for entry or a specific meal, depending on the location.
- Simply swipe your campus card to use your meal swipes.
Don’t forget to bring a reusable cup for hot drinks – we recommend one that’s 20cm or less in height without a handle to fit under our coffee machines. You’re welcome to take your hot drink with you.
