MEAL SWIPES
Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, Fox Dining Commons & South Dining Commons. Unlimited plans also include Rowdy's Swipes which can be used at Rowdy's On The Fly locations to purchase a single meal to-go. Each Unlimited Plan holder has 3 Rowdy's meal swipes per day. Order ahead of time via the Grubhub app using a meal swipe or credit card, or place your order when you arrive. Apartment meal plan holders can use any of their weekly 7 meal swipes at Rowdy's On The Fly. For Semester Meal Plans, unused meal swipes expire at the end of the semester. For A La Carte Meal Plans, unused meals swipes expire at the close of spring semester.
RIVER HAWK DOLLARS
River Hawk Dollars may be used at any University Dining location including Starbucks, Subway, Sal's Pizza, Merrimack Market, and more. RHD can also be used to pay the residential dining commons door rate for those who run out of meal swipes.
River Hawk Dollars work just like cash, $1 for $1, and are deducted right from your UML ID card. River Hawk Dollars are valid for the full academic year and expire at the close of the spring semester.
ROWDY'S ON THE FLY
Easy and convenient to-go dining located at Fox Hall, South, and Cumnock Market. Order a single meal to-go using a Rowdy's Meal Swipe. Unlimited Plan holders can use one Rowdy's swipe per meal period per day (3 total). Apartment plan holders can use any of their weekly seven swipes. Personal forms of payment are also accepted.
On The Fly meals can be ordered at the locations or ahead of time for pickup via the Grubhub app.
