MEAL PLANS

College life can be challenging, but dining should be effortless. That's why all students living on campus are required to participate in a meal plan.

All students living on campus are required to participate in a meal plan. We offer by-the-week plans and by-the-semester plans, both of which offer a set number of meal swipe options as well as meal plan points.
