Faculty and Staff Flex+ Dollars

All current University of California, Berkeley faculty and staff with a valid Cal 1 Card are eligible to purchase Faculty and Staff Flex+ Dollars. An employee who is also a registered student of the University may only purchase an off-campus meal plan.

Flex+ dollars

Flex+ dollars work on a declining balance basis. Flex+ dollars may be used in the dining commons, campus restaurants, convenience stores, Grubhub and to pay for guest meals at a discount from the cash price in the dining commons.

Flex+ dollars function like cash dollars—1 flex dollar has the purchasing power of $1. For example, a purchase of $2.01 would cost 2.01 flex+ dollars. Flex+ dollars cannot be refunded, transferred to another meal plan holder, or canceled.
