Understanding the Meal Plans!
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So I'm gonna talk about something that's really important to all students Army, because you know food, right? So the nice thing is, we have a really easy system, the operate expression once you get here and get comfortable with it. I'm gonna explain a little bit about how little works, what the terms mean. So the first thing is, we have meal swipes so students could have between 5 10 14 and 19 mill swipes a week, or they can block out there. Planning for the semester have 75 1 75 or 2 75 meals twice for the semester. Each of these amount of meals life comes with a stunning amount of flex dollars. So when you go to an establishment on campus and go to purchase food, you can swipe and use a meal slight. Say what you bought is too expensive to be covered by just that meal slips, So then you need extra money to pay for it. Then we also have a system called Husky Gold, which not only pays 1 50 to Wash. It also could be used as a deputy credit card at any food establishment on campus or at the university stores. Well, students often use that to buy their books by materials or by closing the overseas store. Then sometimes they have a stating out of money in there for their food plan. So how did they run out of Flex? Let's talk about it. You go into Husky loud and say, I get a sandwich and a soda and my total comes out to be $6. When I go to the cash register, the cashier is gonna ask me if I would like to use me on Flex and I'm going to say yes because I want to use my meal plan. So first he's gonna swipe to take off my meal sleight, which is the equivalent of $5.55. So obviously about meal sleep isn't gonna cover the whole $6 my sandwiches soda costs, so she's got to swipe again to take 45 cents out of my flex dollars to cover my meal for that time frame. So from there you're like, Well, okay, the flax pays for whatever meals, what doesn't cover here and there? What if you run out of flex? Flex dollars can actually be fulfilled each semester with your meals, which is everything you come. It comes with 200 to $250 in flex, and if it's more meals, trips a week, it's sometimes $300 in plex. You may be able to go on one and refill your flex dollars with a credit card, but keep in mind on which semester is flex dollars. Run and roll over from fall to spring, but not spring to fall. First semester I had $40 left in flex, so the next semester I started with $290 a flex. So then I had to use that $290 a flex or it disappears. Oftentimes, that accumulated flexing his letter and students will do anything with is donated either to the local police work, food covered or it has accumulated into scholarship funds through the university. So does give him back to the students in the community. One thing's the students will often do is if they can't charge up and use all their flanks of the end of the semester because they have some left and don't want to go to waste. You can buy things like Mother's Days, but Mother's Day baskets. There's packages of food, candy, eateries, things like that. You could buy the Husky Lounge, but so so you don't want a refill that flex and then have a student not use it, and it goes away and goes the waist or whatever. At the end of that spring semester, we have a system called Husky Goal, so not only pays for that laundry and everything, but it also could be used in replace of flex dollars towards the end of the semester when your student runs out. So then when they go meal places an establishment and they want to use their meal swipes. The harmony flag still say, Can I use meals and husky gold, please, because you're husky gold sees with you indefinitely as long as you're here. Your account doesn't go away after the semester's over. The student can then use that for laundry and so on the next semester, and you want to worry about it disappearing like the flex does. So I hope that all makes sense and makes me a plan like a little easier as you huskies suit and transition into your life is a student here and using your milk win.
