Innovative options help create a plan that's just right for you.
For each meal or ala carte purchase you present your Stout OneCard where the appropriate amount will be electronically subtracted from your account. Your Baseline account balance will be displayed each time a purchase is made. Because the only access to your account is via your Stout OneCard it is mandatory you present your card to the cashier each time you make a purchase with your account.

UDS employs a registered dietitian to assist students with special dietary needs, nutrition issues or food allergies. The dietitian can be reached at 715-232-3599 or can be e-mailed from the UDS web site. This service is free to Baseline Plan participants.
The Stout OneCard is necessary to access all dining account information. It must be presented to the cashier at all locations to use your dining plan. Guests may be treated using the Stout OneCard, but the card must be presented by the owner. The card is non-transferable to protect the account holder. The reduced Baseline pricing in dining areas is available only on purchases for a Baseline plan member.
The Baseline Plan is for students living in the residence halls. Students on the plan may eat at either campus location and will receive the special Baseline pricing at both locations.
The University requires that all residence hall students participate in a Baseline Board Plan. Students are free to choose from any of the four levels listed below. The plan is issued on a per semester basis. If you do not have your Stout OneCard with you at the cash register (regardless of the reason) alternative payment (cash payment or treating by another account holder) at cash prices will be required.

Cost for the baseline Plan is broken into two parts:
This is a fixed fee paid each semester. It is used to meet non-food operating costs such as: mortgage/rent, utilities, labor, supplies, maintenance, insurance, and administrative overhead.
These are funds deposited in your Baseline Plan account, accessed with your StoutOne Card, used to make purchases of food at any UDS operation on campus. Board Plan participants pay only food cost for cafeteria meals at either Commons or North Point Cafeteria locations but full cash price at other dining locations. (See Chart A)

"Plus" funds allow students to make purchases at many additional on-campus locations outside of dining. A number of non-food purchases are made by students for items such as books/supplies, laundry facilities, computer lab work, copies, recreation, etc.
All residence hall students are given the option to deposit funds as Baseline Plus Funds at the start of, and throughout, the semester.
Plus fund are also usable in dining locations after "dining only" funds are expended. Baseline Plan holders always receive Baseline pricing in cafeterias even when paying with Baseline Plus funds during each semester of participation.
