RESIDENT
MEAL
PLANS

The resident meal plans are designed to accommodate the various needs of students.  With our meal plans, you will have the option of eating up to 21 meals on campus each week.  As a meal plan member, your student ID card becomes your pass to use your meal plan for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the dining halls.  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. Meal plans are non-transferable and are valid for one semester.
