Experiential Dining Events

Exciting New Ways to Use Your Combo-X-Change Swipes!

MSU Culinary Services is offering a fresh and interactive way for students to use their Combo-X-Change (CX) swipes! All MSU students with an active dining plan are invited to participate in a series of unique events designed to bring flavor, fun and community together.

How to Join:
Simply register for an event by paying with your CX swipes, no extra cost! But don’t wait; each experience has limited seating, so early registration is encouraged.

❗Important Notes

ALL EVENTS ARE PRE-PAID WITH COMBOS FROM MSU DINING PLANS. YOUR COMBOS WILL BE SUBTRACTED ON THE MONDAY PRECEDING THE EVENT. 

  • A minimum number of participants is required for each event to take place.
  • If an event is canceled due to low registration, you’ll be notified, and no swipes will be deducted from your account.

Registration Cancellation Policy

  • If you need to cancel your registration, please do so at least two business days (Monday-Friday) before the Monday of the event week.
  • Late cancellations or no-shows will still incur charges for CXs.
  • Please let us know early so we can offer your seat to someone on the waitlist!

Thank you for your understanding and support!
