Resident Meal Plans

Our meal plans have been designed to accommodate the varous needs of our students. With our meal plans, you will have the option of eating up to 19 meals on campus each week. When you become a meal plan member, your student ID card becomes your pass to use your meal plan at our dining location how and whenever you like. When you sign up, select your meal plan based on your academic schedules, eating patterns and social life. Our meal plans consist of two main features.

19 Meals per Week

For students living in our residence halls, there is no better value than the 19 meals per week option. The 19 meals per week allows you to enjoy up to the specified number of guaranteed meals each week for the semester that you have signed up for. You can use your meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner in our dining hall. Each time you use a meal, it is subtracted from your weekly balance. Meals do not carry over from week to week and the meal plans reset every Sunday night.
Please note: All students living in a traditional residence hall on campus are required to purchase a meal plan.
