Meal Plan

Plan Options

Dining Plans are your key to all-access dining on campus–with more bang for your buck. Dining on campus gives you the convenience of eating what and when you want, without having to leave campus, go grocery shopping or do dishes. Students with ≤60 credit hours who are living in required residence halls will default to our Traditional 14 Dining Plan. Students with ≥60 credit hours in required residence halls will be able to choose from our Traditional, Block, or Dining Dollars Plans. All students have the option to upgrade to our Traditional 19 Dining Plan, giving you 19 Meal Swipes per week to our two all-you-care-to-eat Dining Halls.
