Meal Plans

Knox meal plans are designed with you in mind and an emphasis on flexibility.  Plans may consist of a specific number of meals, Dining Dollars that can be spent just like cash at any Dining Service location, and Guest Meals that allow you to bring family members and friends to dine with you, all of which can be used whenever and however you like each term. Unused meals and Dining Dollars are non-transferable and do not "roll" from term to term. Flex Dollars may also be purchased, and can be used the same as cash at all dining locations, as well as at campus copy machines and in the Knox College Bookstore.
