I have a meal plan, do I need a Flex Account?  Resident hall students and first semester apartment residents with an existing Meal Plan account automatically receive $150 in flex dollars for the semester.  They may add additional dollars to their Flex account at any time to supplement their current meal plan.  The initial $150 is non-refundable.  Additional deposits above the $150 are kept in a separate fund and are always refundable.
