How does it work?
Select the meal plan that works for you (plans are listed below). Meal plans are prepaid by adding money to the dining fund on your Campus Card. The dining fund operates as a declining balance. Plans are only valid for a specified time and are subject to administration fees thereafter as listed below in the fine print section of each plan.

How do I get started on a meal plan?
To be eligible you must have a Campus Card and be registered as a student in the current semester. Getting started is easy; simply choose your meal plan listed below, contact the Campus Card office to register, and add monies to the dining fund on your Campus Card.
