Meal Plans and Dining

As a residential student, you are automatically assigned a meal plan, so there is no separate application to complete. The plan includes a set number of meals per week in the dining hall and flexible spending dollars for on-campus dining. You can change your meal plan at the beginning of the semester. For more information about the dining facilities and meal plans visit Dining Services.
