Bistro “Swaps” are designed to be meal options for students on-the-go and to provide opportunities for students to enjoy meals in the Bistro as part of their dining plan. Swaps are chosen from a select menu in the Bistro and are deducted from students’ weekly Higgins Café Meals. Students may swap up to one meal per meal period until 9 p.m. daily. Once you swap in the retail you cannot swap in the same meal period in the dining hall. Swap plus items are higher cost items that you can get with a swap plus it will deduct $2.29 dining dollars or real dollars and comes with two sides.

Please note that exceptions to Clark’s meal plan requirements are rare and limited to specific circumstances, such as a student who requires a medically prescribed diet that cannot be provided by Dining Services, or a student who is studying abroad. Students who have dietary or allergy concerns are encouraged to contact Clark Dining Services denis.gagne@sodexo.com for assistance on meeting their needs prior to beginning the exception process; non-medical dietary concerns and preferences are not sufficient reasons for exceptions. Clark Dining Services is proud to accommodate the majority of food allergies and dietary preference.
