More about Campus Value Plans

Student Meal Plans are pre-determined plans with set dollar amounts. They are bigger plans and meant primarily for those living in residence, though you may certainly purchase one even if you are not living in residence. They include both “Basic” and “Flex” dollars, which are spent differently on different items. You save up to 13% when you spend your “Basic” dollars and 5% when you spend “Flex” dollars.

If you would like to learn more about “Basic” and “Flex” dollars at this time, please visit our Basic vs Flex Dollar webpage here.

Campus Value Plans are best for students not living in residence. There is no set balance in these plans – you decide what you would like in the account, so it is a great option for budgeting. You save 5% on most purchase on campus, with our off-campus partners, and with vending machines. This is a very popular option for those not in residence, as well as for staff & faculty at UTM. When you first open a Campus Value Plan account the minimum deposit is $80, and subsequent deposits are a minimum of $20.

SIMPLE. 

Our meal plans work like a debit account. You start with a certain amount of money, and each time you use your meal plan to purchase something, the transaction amount subtracts from your account. 

SIMPLE: 

All you need to do, is tap your Student Card (known as your TCard), and the the total will be subtracted from your meal plan account.

SIMPLE: 

Not very experienced with budgeting? Not to worry. We provide budgeting templates to help you ensure that you are using your meal plan funds at a rate that will ensure you do not have money left over at the end of the academic year.

SIMPLE: 

If you don't use all of your meal plan funds, you are able to carry *some* of the funds forward to your next academic year. It is important that you understand what your minimum spend is, and that you monitor your account balance, so that you are not over the limit.
