Our chefs aren’t creating food just for students. We’re here to serve you, too! As an ISU employee, you can now purchase Dining Dollars and Block Plans.
Block Plans
For those who need a few meals here or there, Block plans help students save about 20% off the Dining Center door rate. Each meal may also be used as a Flex Meal in retail locations for purchases up to $13.50 in value. Blocks expire at the end of the spring semester. Additional Block plans may be purchased at any time throughout the fall and spring semesters.
