Campus Dining

Feeding hungry minds with quality food and customer service.

If you are hungry, we can help you! Whether you live on campus or off, ASU-Beebe can provide the campus community with great food and exceptional service. Students can choose from four dining locations within walking distance of campus housing and classrooms on any of our campuses. We offer traditional choices and ethnic and international cuisine and work to meet special dietary needs, like vegetarian, low-fat and gluten-free options. Find what food fits you with our variety of meal plans and the opportunity to discuss your needs with our staff.

Provided by Great Western Dining, menu options include a deli station, salad bar, grill and a cafeteria line to provide an array of food choices. The Great Western Dining staff is committed to providing excellent food and service to our students and community. We encourage student involvement and seek feedback to ensure dining services represent the varied lifestyles of today’s students.

Meal Plans

Regardless of where you live, ASU-Beebe offers a variety of dining options to accommodate your needs. The plans available are based on a combination of the number of prepaid meals and/or amount of declining balance (“Blue Bucks”) loaded on an individual’s VanCard (ID card). Blue Bucks dollars work on the same principle as bank debit cards. Each time you make a food purchase with your VanCard, the total cost of your food purchase is subtracted from the dollar balance in your account. Blue Bucks dollars carry over from the fall to the spring semester.

Current options include:

17-Meal Residential Meal Plan: The cost is $1,675 per semester. This includes access to 17 meals per week and $75 of Blue Bucks dollars. This plan is accessible at any ASU-Beebe food service location (Beebe, Heber Springs, and Searcy campuses). Meals expire at the end of each semester; Blue Bucks expire on June 30 each year.
$150 Commuter Block Plan: The cost is $150 per lock. This includes pre-paying for $150 that can be redeemed at any dining hall (Beebe, Heber Springs, and Searcy campuses) and the Blue Brew Shop in the Owen Center. Blue Bucks expire on June 30 each year. This is a great option to convert available Financial Aid to Blue Bucks.
10-Meal Block Plan: The cost is $68 per 10-meal block. This includes 10 meals that can be redeemed at any dining hall (Beebe, Heber Springs, and Searcy campuses). This plan is not accessible at the Blue Brew Shop in the Owen Center. Meals do not expire. This is a great option to convert available Financial Aid to meals.

Commuter & Employee Meal Plans. After reading the Meal Plan Terms and Conditions of Use, commuter students and employees can use the following form to apply for a voluntary meal plan: Commuter & Employee Meal Plan Application. Residential students agree to the Residential Meal Plan as part of their Housing Application/Lease Agreement, and DO NOT need to complete this form. Once the form is received by the Office of Student Life, charges will be added to the student/ employee account and they will be contacted about paying the charges via TouchNet or with a cashier. Voluntary meal plans will not be activated until they have been paid in-full.

Contact the Office of Student Life to order a meal plan.
