Butler Dining 2020–2021
All students living in a Butler University residence hall are enrolled in a Resident Dining Plan. Students have the option of enrolling in either of the Resident Dining Plans offered each semester. The Resident Dining Plans include meal swipes as well as Flex Dollars that can be utilized at retail locations. A meal or card swipe ("swipe") is an all-you-care-to-eat (AYCTE) meal at the Atherton Union Marketplace Café during normal operating hours. Flex Dollars can be used at any of the retail locations including Starbucks, Plum Market at C-Club, C-store in Apartment Village, HRC, and ResCo. Meal swipes are deposited onto cards at the start of each semester and do not roll over from semester to semester. You may also add Dawg Buck funds to your account if you run low. For more information on how to use your meal plan, click here.
The Community Block Plans allow for the swipe to be used at any meal at the Atherton Union Marketplace Café. Meal swipes may also be used as a "combo package" at retail locations. More information on Butler Dining is available at Butler.cafebonappetit.com.

Refunds of balances greater than $25 will be issued if requested in writing within 90 days after withdrawal or graduation from Butler University. All refund requests are subject to a $25 administrative fee. Balances remaining past 90 days after separation will be forfeited.
