CHEERS Flexi food options

All Charles Sturt University students can have a Cheers Flexi Food Option, even if you don’t live on campus!

Cheers Flexi Food Options provide peace of mind. You’ll won’t need to about shopping or cooking; allowing you to focus on your Uni life free from hunger.

Flexi Food can be purchased by either yourself or by someone else on your behalf, like a parent, guardian or supporter.

Some accommodation packages have a minimum Flexi Food Option requirement and other accommodation types let you choose one to suit your lifestyle and hunger.

You can choose your flexi food option when you accept your accommodation offer.

Flexi Food Options are also available to students who live off-campus. Contact cheers@csu.edu.au and we can assist with setting this up.

How does it work?

Flexi Points are a way of loading cash onto your CSU Card. One point equals $1 and they can be spent in cent increments. So you can spend a little ('one Freddo Frog thanks') or a lot ('I'm planning a big study session so I'll have a pasta, an energy drink, two apples and some chocolate … and see you in the morning for coffee').

Flexi Points are valid at any Cheers food or retail outlet on campus, to be spent on food, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.

Your flexi points are loaded onto your student ID card every fortnight. We encourage everyone to eat regularly and budget your flexis’ across the fortnight until the next reload. Any unused flexi points will rollover to the next session.

Cheers Flexi Food plans are valid for 36 weeks starting at the beginning of session one. Any unused flexi points will expire on the final termination date for residences.
