Meal Plan Rates

Enrolling in a meal plan means that a student will receive a meal plan for both fall and spring semesters (i.e., students who enroll in Meal Plan E will receive a Meal Plan E for the fall semester and automatically re-enrolled in another Meal Plan E for the spring semester). The deadline to reduce or cancel a meal plan is the University-wide Add/Drop deadline for each respective semester. Students may reduce or cancel their meal plan (if eligible) prior to this deadline per semester. Increases are welcome at any point in the academic year. All meal points expire at the end of the academic year.

How to Budget Your Meal Points

To help students track and budget their meal points, Housing & Residence Life and Dining Services have created a chart listing suggested meal point balances per week throughout the duration of a semester. Please note that students can always check the remaining balance of their meal plan for each respective semester at the cash register or by logging into Wavenet > ID Card Services.
