Usage and Balance
![](https://www.dining.iastate.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/WEBSITE-Headers.jpg)
The Cardinal meal plan doesn’t need to track meal usage because you can swipe into the dining centers anytime you’d like.
With the Gold (first-year required area plans) along with the Campanile (non-first-year and non-required area plans), you should track your meal usage to ensure you don’t over or under-use your plan. It’s just a guide! But we hope it helps keep you on track throughout the semester.
You can check your meal plan balances anytime by using the GET Mobile app. GET Mobile not only shows your balances, but you can also order online at several of our locations.
All unused meals on the Gold and Campanile meal plans expire following dinner on the last day of classes each semester.
Block Plans and Dining Dollars roll over from the fall to spring semester.
Dining centers are closed during fall, winter, and spring breaks. Some retail locations remain open. Hours are posted here.
