Residential Dining Options (Meal Plans)

Traditional 10 Meal Plan

This basic plan is ideal for those who dine less frequently or who are often away for the weekend. With the Traditional 10 Plan, you are entitled to 10 dining hall entries per week. After 10 entries, you may continue to eat meals by paying cash at the following guest rates each time you enter the dining hall:

  • Breakfast: $6.00
  • Lunch: $7.00
  • Dinner: $8.00

Block meals are for the residents' use only. Residents may not use any of the meals on their account for guests.

Traditional 19 Meal Plan

With the Traditional 19 Plan, you are entitled to 19 dining hall entries per week. If you want a complete food service plan without worrying about the number of dining hall entries you've made, the Traditional 19 Plan is for you. This is clearly a good value for those with a hearty appetite who plan to be on campus most weekends.

Block Meal Plan (210 meals per semester)

With this unique plan, you are able to choose when you eat in the residential dining facilities without the restrictions of how many entries you have per week. You will receive a block of 210 meals per semester and you can use your meals at anytime.

Changing Meal Plans

The Student Housing License Agreement is for a full academic year, and none of the food service plans are transferable. However, changing between the meal plans is possible, but only during the last two weeks of the Fall semester. All of the food plans have been established based on experience and the expectation that every resident is not likely to attend every meal offered under either option.

* Refer to the enclosed license for option prices. The university reserves the right, after giving advance notice, to change the fees for food service.

* Future information on a coffee house exchange plan will be provided on our website.
