Meal Plan Rates

Which Meal Plan is Best for You?

Students in residence* have four (4) meal plans to choose from based on:

  1. The size of your appetite
  2. How many meals you typically eat per day
  3. How often you will be away from campus
  4. Increased flexibility to purchase food at our convenience store, vending and local restaurants that have partnered with Food Services
  5. The Full Plan is recommended for students living in Alumni Hall, in order to cover taxable purchases at its C-store

* All students that live in residence are required to purchase a meal plan each semester
