Jax State Dining Services provides amazing culinary options for our students. Whether you live on or off campus, you can find a meal plan that fits your needs and offers the best of both worlds, from our all-you-care-to-eat Dining Hall to our on-campus retail dining locations.

What is a meal plan?

A meal plan is the key to your dining experience at Jax State. Your meal plan includes a combination of meal swipes and flex dollars. The amount of each depends on the plan you choose. Both are conveniently loaded onto your JCard, so there is no need to carry additional cards or cash!

Meal Swipes

Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat Dining Hall. All meal swipes are based on meal periods to include breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Students may use one meal swipe per period. If you wish to treat a friend at the Dining Hall, you will need to use Flex Dollars from your account. You cannot add more meal swipes to your account, but you can add more Flex Dollars as needed to use at the Dining Hall. No refunds will be issued for unused meal swipes.

Flex Dollars

Flex Dollars are a declining balance account can be used at any Sodexo dining location on campus. Think of Flex Dollars just like a checking account. The beginning balance is set at the beginning of the semester depending on the meal plan you have selected. As items are purchased, the cost is deducted from the balance in your account. Your new balance can be obtained immediately after the transaction. Flex Dollars are reloadable. You can purchase additional Flex Dollars online or through your MyJaxState portal.

Flex Dollars will roll over from semester to semester within the academic year they are purchased (fall to spring to summer), but they will not carry over to the following academic year. Funds must be used by the end of the July semester. No refunds will be issued for unused Flex Dollars left on your account.
