As the 2025-2026 school year wraps up, the chaos of finals week, moving out and graduation can make it easy to forget details. Here are some reminders and important end-of-semester information.
Swipes for Swoops
Students can donate their unused flex dollars or meal plans to Swoop’s Food Pantry from now until May 1. This donation will go to supporting food-insecure students with flex dollars for the 2026-2027 school year.
Donations can be made on kiosks at any campus dining location or on the mobile ordering app. To do so, students can select a dining location on the app and scroll down to select “Swipes for Swoops.” From there, students can donate $1, $5, $10, $25 or $50 of flex. At Eagles Grind, students can use up to three meal swipes at a time. This can be done on or off campus, so students that have moved off campus can still make contributions.
Students are welcome to donate as much as they would like, so long as they are following the 30-minute latent period between spending meal swipes.
Course evaluations
On April 12, student course evaluations opened. Students can give feedback to their professors on the class to help make improvements for future semesters. These course evaluations close before finals week, so anyone wishing to give feedback should do so before 11:59 p.m. on April 26.
