Everything you need to know about campus dining

As we return to the fall semester, keep fueling your success by fueling yourself with our many campus dining options.

Mobile Ordering

  • Putting your ID on your phone: First, download the mobile app from Google Play or iOS. Fill out your profile, select UCCS as your school, and enter your info.
  • Use the app to order. You can customize your experience and order in advance for pick-up.
  • Earn rewards! Accumulate points every time you order with Transact Mobile.

Retail Swipes

  • Retail Swipes allow students to use their meal plans at multiple venues across campus. The number of retail swipes is based on the meal plan held. Retail Swipes can be redeemed at Cafe ’65, Alpine Express, all Big Cat Coffee locations, Mobile Ordering, and Hybl Cafe. 
  • Swipes have a $7.50 value. Students can order any UCCS-made item at approved locations and cover any overages with flex dollars, Clyde’s Cash, credit, or debit.
  • How to use swipes: Download the e-accounts app and log in with credentials. Then, load the card into your digital wallet. Once in the wallet, tap on the RFID reader. It will pull from meal plans by default. If you want to use Flex or Clyde’s Cash, let the cashier know as they have to press that tender type.
