Office of Residence Life / Meal Plans

Meal Plans

The majority of our students select the Silver, Gold, and Platinum meal plans (required of first-year students living on campus in traditional halls and suites). With these unlimited access plans, you can:

  • Eat whatever you want!
  • Have as much as you want!
  • Visit the dining hall as many times in the day as you want!

We also offer limited Meal Credit Plans.

All meal plans include Flex dollars* that you can use towards food and beverages at our smaller dining areas: The Daily Grind, “Grab-n-Go,” and The Pub.

Important Information for Meal Plans:

  • First-year students living in traditional halls and suites are required to sign up for a Silver, Gold, or Platinum Plan.
  • Sophomores, juniors, and seniors living in the traditional halls and suites are required to sign up for a Silver, Gold, or Platinum Plan or the 125 Meal Credit.
  • Commuters, residents of the Townhouses and Waring Commons Apartments, and faculty and staff may choose any of the plans offered.
