Off-Campus Living
The Commuter plan is designed for students living off campus who desire the convenience of a meal plan. This plan includes A la Carte and Eagle Flex. This plan does not auto-renew, so students will need to repurchase it each quarter. Students can purchase this meal plan directly from the Tawanka Business Office at the beginning of each quarter. Commuter plans for 2021-22 are now available for purchase.
Understanding Your Meal Plan
A la Carte
A la Carte is a penny-a-point system that allows you to purchase items at any EWU Dining Services location without tax. For ease of use, points are converted to a cash tender type; for example, 140,000 points in A la Carte will translate to $1,400.00.
Any A la Carte balance from a residential meal plan remaining at the end of a quarter will be automatically converted to Eagle Flex at a 75% value. As Eagle Flex, these dollars remain in a student's account for as long as that student is enrolled at EWU.
Eagle Flex
Eagle Flex is a prepaid account that works like a debit card. Use your EagleCard to spend your Flex dollars at participating merchants both on- and off-campus. For a full list of Eagle Flex vendors, visit the EagleCard website. Flex carries over from year to year and will be available to students for as long as they are enrolled at EWU.
| Meal Plan | A la Carte (Per Quarter) | EagleFlex (Per Quarter) |
|---|---|---|
| Base Meal Plan | 110,000 points | $100.00 EagleFlex |
| Upgraded Meal Plan | 140,000 points | $150.00 EagleFlex |
Managing Your Meal Plan
Meal plans are meant to be managed.
Managing your meal plan is extremely important. We suggest students pay close attention to their weekly average spending, and utilize the provided guide below to determine whether their meal plan is meeting their nutritional needs.
Students with on-campus meal plans may add additional funds to both A la Carte and Eagle Flex.
| Meal Plan | A la Carte Beginning Balance (Per Quarter) | Weekly Budget Goal (based on a 10-week quarter) |
|---|---|---|
| Base Meal Plan | 110,000 points | $110.00 per week |
| Upgraded Meal Plan | 140,000 points | $140.00 per week |
