The University requires all undergraduates graduating after 2004 to be on a meal plan so that all students share in the cost of providing and maintaining convenient dining service locations on the campus. The off-campus meal plan also insures a convenient way to have a meal or snack when you're on campus and eliminates the need to carry cash.

How can I change my meal plan?

Changes in meal plans are permitted during the first four weeks of the fall semester and the first two weeks during the Spring semester. You may change your plan at the Office of Residential Life in Lien Residential College.

How come the money I pay for meal plan points doesn't equal the number of points received?

The points you receive cover the cost of the food and the staff involved in preparing and serving the food. The difference between the points and the dollars paid is the overhead charge associated with the University's cost of providing the facilities and equipment for dining service operations.

How do I add points to my meal plan?

Students have the option of adding value to their meal plan by either billing their student account through WebSTAC, or by purchasing points at the Office of Residential Life by cash or check. Points added to a meal plan may be purchased in $25 increments (1 point = $1).

What happens to unused points at the end of Fall semester?
