Swipe Meal Plans
The Santa Rita Swipe Plan will automatically be assigned to all first-year students living on campus. You have the opportunity to explore additional Meal Plan options below that may better suit your needs.
Swipe Meal Plans are the most robust Meal Plans, offering the greatest flexibility in their use. Each Swipe Meal Plan includes all four of these component buckets:
- Swipes
- Dining Dollars
- CatCa$h
- Guest Meals
The amounts in each bucket vary slightly depending on the plan selected. The annual cost can be broken down into 2 payments - one in fall semester and one in spring semester.

Your Meal Plan works at over 30 on-campus dining locations (see map below)! From all-you-care-to-eat (cafeteria) restaurants like '85 North and Cactus Grill to markets and vending machines, your Meal Plan gives you convenient and flexible access to dine with us on campus.
