Meal Plan FAQs

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:

• Have higher grade point averages
• Make a smoother transition from high school to college
• Have higher retention and graduation rates
• Report greater satisfaction with their college experience
• Make better use of the educational and support services at their universities than commuter students

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.

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 blocks of meals via the website (this may be done at any point during the semester).Back to top

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.

Block Meals: Left over block meals do not carry over to the next semester.

Phoenix Funds: If you have remaining Phoenix Funds at the end of fall semester, they will rollover to the spring semester.
