    • What are Dining Dollars Per Term?
      • They are additional funds that can be used for extra dining expenses.
    • What is Flex?
      • It’s similar to Dining Dollars, but you can also use it off-campus, which is convenient. You can also carry over any unused Flex dollars, but keep in mind that you only have $50 for the entire semester.
