Commuter students, apartment and cottage residents may purchase a meal plan if they wish, but are not required to do so. Those who opt out of the meal plan can and are encouraged to deposit Flex Dollars in their account. Flex Dollar purchases at Patriot Hall and Mount Cafe are tax free and using the Flex account is more efficient at the registers then using cash or credit card.
Apartment residents may purchase a meal plan should they choose to do so. Commuter students and apartment residents who opt out of the meal plans will be allowed to add Flex $s to their Mount Card (online website is www.msmary.edu/mymountcard, $5 minimum deposit).
