What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more at Simmons University. The Resident and Commuter Meal Plans may include Meal Swipes and Declining Balance Dining Points. Amounts of each vary depending on the plan you select. Meal Plans are loaded onto your student ID so there is no need to carry additional cards or cash.
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes are used for admittance to the newly renovated, all-you-care-to-enjoy Bartol Dining. One Swipe is deducted from your plan for each visit. You may use up to six swipes per day at Bartol Dining.
