Important Info

Unlimited Access Meal Plans

Each student purchasing the Gold or Crimson Plan will have unlimited access to the all-you-care-to-eat dining program. You must present your student ID to access dining halls each time you enter a dining hall. These meal plans are non-transferable.

Meal Plan Cash

The Meal Plan Cash included with each meal plan can be used in any of the dining locations on campus. One Meal Plan Cash dollar is equal to $1 in cash. Meal Plan Cash purchases are exempt from sales tax. Meal Plan Cash is a declining balance account. The amount attached to the meal plan selected is the balance at the beginning of the academic quarter; each purchase is deducted from that account. Meal Plan Cash can be purchased and added to the account at any time, and in the increment of your choice. Meal Plan Cash expires at the end of each quarter and is non-refundable

You can dine when you want and as often as you like. The dining halls will be open throughout the day Monday through Friday, allowing you the flexibility to dine at your convenience.

You have a choice between an unlimited access meal plan with an all-you-care-to-eat program, or the more traditional block plan. Each plan includes meal plan cash to give you added flexibility.
