Having a dining facility and meal plans at Florida Poly enhances the quality of campus life and helps to increase student involvement on campus. Living on campus can make a world of difference in what our students gain from their college experience and in their success rates. The benefits of living on campus, including dining services with healthy meals, are especially significant for students who have just graduated from high school and are attending their first year of college. Research tells us that those students who live on campus during their first year:
The University is committed to ensuring the academic and personal success of its students. The combination of these factors led to university administration to approve the proposed meal plan requirements.
Meal plans can be selected and paid for via the Florida Poly portal with a credit card. Log into your CAMS portal to sign up for a meal plan before drop/add day each semester.
Certain types of financial aid may be applied to a meal plan. Students are urged to be proactive in working with the Office of Financial Aid to secure aid that can be used for meal plan expenses.
Block meals and swipes per week allow you to have all-you-care-to-eat meals in the Wellness Dining Center. You can also use your swipe to enjoy the Wellness Dining Center To-Go Box Program. Retail items can only be purchased with debit/credit card or Phoenix Funds. Some meal plans offer a meal equivalency option which allows you to purchase pre-fixed meal options from the retail options using a meal swipe.
Finding out how many meals you have remaining is easy.
Phoenix Funds are declining balance funds with dollar-for-dollar value you can spend
in any Phoenix Dining location. If you have remaining fall semester Phoenix Funds,
your balance will roll over to the spring to use for one additional semester. At the
end of the spring semester, all Phoenix Funds will expire.
Students wishing to upgrade to a larger meal plan can do so in CAMS. It is extremely important that all upgrade requests be completed by 5 p.m. on the last day of drop/add each semester, or they will not be posted to the student account. After drop/add is over, students may purchase additional Phoenix Funds via the website (this may be done at any point during the semester).
Selection: Meal plans are only valid for the semester in which they are purchased. Meal plan selection does not carry over, students must re-register for a new meal plan each semester in their CAMS portal. If a plan is not selected the 14 meals/week will automatically be assigned.
Phoenix Funds: If you have remaining Phoenix Funds at the end of fall semester, they will rollover to the spring semester. At the end of the spring semester, all Phoenix Funds will expire.
You may use your Phoenix Funds or credit/debit card to purchase a meal for a guest. You cannot use your meal plan swipes per week or All Access swipes, as they may only be used for the named cardholder.
