THOSE WITHOUT A SILVER, GOLD OR PLATINUM PLAN CAN PAY THE DOOR PRICE AT ENJOY MARKET SQUARE’S LATE NIGHT OFFERING.

To-Go Another perk that comes with an unlimited plan (Silver, Gold or Platinum) is the ability to take 20 meals per semester out of Market Square. As you enter Market Square simply let the cashier know you’d like your meal to go!

Convenience Swipes

As an added benefit, students may use a convenience swipe to purchase a “breakfast and or lunch alternative” that consists of a made-fresh and pre-packages sandwich or salad, a drink, and a choice of dessert or fruit.

The Convenience Swipe option is only available at Sushi Mama’s which is located in the Smith building, on the far northeast corner of campus near the business, library, engineering and nursing schools.

After using a convenience swipe for breakfast you will have to wait 1 hour before you can swipe into Market Square. Students will have to wait at least 3 hours before they can swipe into Market Square after using a convenience swipe for lunch.

CONVENIENCE SWIPES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WITH SILVER, GOLD OR PLATINUM PLANS!

Frog Pass Plans with a limited number of swipes can be used by the owner of the swipes however they wish, meaning that they can choose to use a swipe to pay for a visitor’s meal.
