LION Meal Plan Funds

LION Meal Plans are now comprised of both Meal "Swipes" and Dining Dollars. Meal "Swipes" are used for All-You-Care-to-Eat meals at the Lair and Dining Dollars can be used at all campus dining locations (including the Lair). LION Meal Plans are required for all students with On-Campus Housing agreements, and the initial plan selection is made through the Housing application process. All meal plan changes, or any off-campus residents who would like to purchase an optional meal plan, can be selected through the Lion Wallet beginning August 1st through the third week of the Fall term. Any unused Meal "Swipes" will expire at the end of the Fall term, but unused Dining Dollars will remain available through the Spring term. Spring term meal plan changes or other optional selections can be made through the Lion Wallet beginning December 1st through the third week of the Spring term. Any unused Meal "Swipes" and/or Dining Dollars (including S-Dollars) will expire at the end of the Spring term. Meal plan funds are non-refundable and non-transferable and cannot be replaced in the event of theft so please keep your OneCard protected and monitor your Lion Wallet account balances, regularly. For more information about meal plans and various campus dining options, please visit LMU Hospitality.

Flexi-Dollars

Flexi-Dollars were created as a form of campus currency for students to have access to funds via their OneCard. Flexi-Dollars are accepted in many venues across campus and participating off-campus local merchants. Flexi-Dollars can be used through the Grubhub app at any participating restaurants. Flexi-Dollars balances carry over in your account from year to year as long as you are actively enrolled or employed with LMU. When you leave LMU, you are responsible for contacting the OneCard office to obtain a refund for account balances over $20. Any balances under $20 or left unclaimed for more than 60 days will be surrendered to the program to cover administration costs. Flexi-Dollars cannot be replaced in the event of theft so please keep your OneCard protected and monitor your Lion Wallet account balances, regularly. Any deposits disputed through the bank by the cardholder will result in the immediate suspension of the Flexi-Dollar account pending investigation and the OneCard cardholder will still be liable for any charges made with the disputed funds.

S-Dollars

S-Dollars are optional Dining Dollars that undergraduate students can add to supplement any active LION Meal Plan. However, any remaining balance in an S-Dollars Account will expire along with any unused Dining Dollars at the end of the Spring term or upon separation from the university, whichever event happens first. S-Dollars are exempt from California sales tax and can be used any place Dining Dollars are accepted. S-Dollars, just like Dining Dollars, are non-refundable and non-transferable. S-Dollars cannot be refunded in the event of theft so please keep your OneCard protected and monitor your Lion Wallet account balances, regularly. Any deposits later disputed by the cardholder through the bank will result in the immediate suspension of the S-Dollar account pending investigation and the OneCard cardholder will still be liable for any charges made with the disputed funds.
