Who needs a meal plan?
If you live in a residence hall, you must chose a meal plan. The cost of your meal plan is included in your Room and Board Contract along with your housing charges.
How do meal plans work?
The University will provide you with a student ID card. When you male a food purchase at any campus dining location, the cashier simply scans your student ID card. The meal used, or the purchase amount is deducted from your account balance.
What are the Meal Plans?
You have four meal plan choices. One meal plan offers all the meals served in a week. The other three plans are structured to offer a combination of debit account spending along with a specified number of meals for a semester. Choose a meal plan based on your desired eating habits and academic schedule.
How do I know how many meals I have left for the week or semester?
The cashier can scan your student ID card to find out how many meals you have left for the week or semester.
How do I check my debit account balance?
You may ask the cashier to scan your student ID card to find out your debit account balance at any Dining Services location.
How do I change my meal plan?
If the meal plan you initially chose is not the one you want, you may change your meal plan once during each semester.
Can I treat a guest to a meal?
Yes, however, you must accompany your guest. You can not lend your student ID card to anyone, including your guest.
What do I do with my unused meals?
You can transfer any unused meals into Bonus Bucks and/or unused Bonus Bucks into meals anytime during the semester.
