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.
