Important Info
Choosing a Meal Plan
We offer a wide variety of plans, one of which is sure to fit with your own individual style and dining preferences. To assist you in determining the plan that best meets your needs you may wish to use our MEAL PLAN WORKSHEET.
Having trouble selecting a meal plan?
Try considering your daily routine…Do you eat three meals a day? Will your class schedule, studying, extracurricular activities and social events interfere with dining? Will you miss dinner due to employment or evening classes? Anticipating the answers to these and similar questions will help you to select a meal plan that best fits your lifestyle.

Meal plan selections are made through the University Student Accounts Office. For more information on university housing and dining contracts, please click HERE

Helpful Meal Plan Tips
Using Meals
You may use your meals at any time of the day - as many times a day as you wish. If you are not sure how many meals you have used, you may want to ask a cashier to check your meal plan balance for you. For block plans, you may eat your meals whenever you wish and as many times a week as you wish, until you have used all of the meals allotted to you for the semester.
Meal Deals
Your meal plan "Meals" may be used at the retail campus dining facilities in order to purchase special menu combinations called "Meal Deals". "Meals" may not be used to purchase a la carte retail items. Additional Flex Dollars are part of the Block Meal Plans and enhance your ability to make retail purchases during the year.
Guest Meals
Block Meal Plans allow you to use up to five meals each semester to pay for guests. If your plan does not include Guest Meals, or if you run out of Guest Meals, you may use Flex Dollars, EagleOne, cash, or credit to purchase a meal for your friends or family.
Special Events
Dining Services sponsors many special events during the year to enhance your dining experiences. Unless otherwise noted, the cost of these events is simply a regular meal plan "meal" (a meal swipe on your EagleOne Card). If you have used all of your meals you may always participate in these events by paying for the price of the meal with Flex Dollars, EagleOne, cash or credit.
