Frequently Asked Questions

If I don’t use all my meals in one week, do they carry over to the following week?
Meals do NOT carry over from week to week.
 
Can I treat a guest by using two “meals” in a meal period?
Your meal plan is non transferable and does not allow you to “treat” a guest. Your guest will have to pay. Look for the daily meal rates posted at the entrance of the dining hall.
 
What is the Meal Equivalency option?
Meal equivalency is a meal exchange whereby students with a meal plan will have the choice to have their meals at     a retail location in lieu of the Dining Hall at no additional cost.  If the price of your meal exceeds the meal equivalency rate then the remaining balanced owed will be paid with flex dollars, cash or credit card.
 
Can I change my meal plan once the semester has begun?
Yes. You can change your option during the first two weeks of the semester. After the first two weeks of the semester you can upgrade only.
 
What are the rates for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Dining Hall?
Breakfast $5.21, plus tax
Lunch $5.85, plus tax
Dinner $5.66, plus tax

What is a meal plan?
A meal plan is a program that enables students to eat a select number of meals at the Dining Halls during a given period. All residential students must purchase a meal plan. Our meal plan has been designed to accommodate the various needs of our students. With our meal plan, you have the option of eating up to 20 meals on campus each week as well as in Checkers or Tuscan Oven through meal equivalency. When you purchase a meal plan, your student identification card becomes your pass to eat in the Dining Hall. You begin each week with 20 meals. Each time you eat a meal it is subtracted from your weekly total. Uneaten meals do not carryover as your meal plan is reset each week.
