We have two Dining Halls, multiple Retail Outlets around campus, and feature three types of Flex meal plans for Summer sessions: Flex Plans come with a set balance of Dining Dollars and Flex Swipes which you may budget as you like.
Dining Dollars can be used anywhere throughout Dining. Flex Plans also come with a Ram Account starting balance. Ram Account is not just for food. It can be used all around campus, and with dozens of off-campus vendors, too. To see details and learn how to receive Dining updates and more, visit our website: web.uri.edu/dining/meal-plans.
