Dining Plans
Dining Plans for Residence Hall Students
Students living with us can choose from one of four dining plans for a variety of needs and budgets. Residents can spend their dining dollars at any of the Beaver Dam Cafe and Coffee Bar.
How it works
- Dining Dollars are added to your K1体育-Cascades ID Card at the beginning of each term. Present your K1体育-Cascades ID card to the cashier to pay for your food. It's like using a debit card.
- Dining Dollars are flexible, allowing you to pay for what you choose to eat, when you choose to eat it.
Dining Plan Changes
- Allowed within the first three weeks of each academic term.
- After the third week of the academic term students can adjust to a larger dining plan only, not to a smaller plan.

Rollover Dining Plan
Rollover Dining Plan funds will be automatically rolled over on your K1体育-Cascades ID card for the following year, with a few limitations listed below:
- The Rollover Dining Plan funds must be used within one year; any unused Rollover funds will expire at the end of Spring Term the following year.
- If you leave K1体育-Cascades (via graduation or other departure) while you still have a Rollover Dining Plan balance, you will not be able to use the Rollover Dining Plan funds unless you then return to K1体育-Cascades within that same one year period.
