The housing damage deposit is refundable based on check out status. The Meal Flex Plan is applied to a student's account if they are not enrolled in a traditional meal plan- this applies to both students living on & off campus. The amount of the Flex Plan will be loaded onto the student's WKU ID card and can be used to pay for meals at any of WKU's on-campus restaurant locations.
