Meal Plans
Who is eligible for the plans?
All currently enrolled students are eligible to purchase a meal plan. Residents living in the residence halls or Towers are required to purchase a minimum of Meal Plan "B". Apartment residents and commuter students are the only students eligible for Meal Plan "A". If they elect to purchase a meal plan, they can choose any of the plans. Meal plan charges are assessed to the student's account.
How do the meal plans work?
The meal plans are on a declining-balance system. The number of points used per meal varies according to the items purchased. Students can increase their meal plan at anytime by sending an email to the Housing Office requesting the change. Students are only able to decrease their meal plans within the first week of each semester. Meal Plan points roll over from Fall to Spring. Meal plan points expire at the end of the Spring semester.
What are the different Meal Plans?
| Meal Plan | Points | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Plan "A" | 575 | This meal plan is for apartment residents and commuters only. This meal plan is designed for students who arrange most of their own food, but who also want to have some of their meals at on-campus dining facilities. |
| Plan "B" | 1,100 | This is the standard meal plan for residence hall residents. Students living in the Standard Halls or the Rockwell Towers are required to be on a minimum of Meal Plan "B". This meal plan is designed for students who eat most of their meals in the dining facilities on-campus, but do not eat three meals a day/seven days a week on-campus. This plan is recommended for most first year students. |
| Plan "C" | 1,350 | This meal plan is designed for students who are eating on- campus during most weekends as well as during the week. |
| Plan "D" | 1,600 | This meal plan is designed for most athletes as well as other students with higher caloric needs. |
| Plan "E" | 1,850 | This meal plan is designed for athletes who have extremely high caloric needs. Please note: most athletes should be on the "D" plan. This plan is only for a small percentage of athletes. |
Can I increase my meal plan?
