What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at five locations across campus. Your Meal Plan includes Meal Swipes and Flex dollars, conveniently loaded onto your LHU ID. No need to carry additional cards or cash!
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining location, Bentley Dining Hall. If you have a block plan, you can use your meals over the course of the semester. If you have a weekly plan, you must use your meals in the week they are assigned. They will not carry over to the next week.
