We strive to make the transition to becoming a resident student here as simple as possible. When you enroll in one of our required resident meal plans, you gain reliable and convenient access to a variety of foods on campus.
Commuter students may also choose to have a meal plan. There are special benefits to having a meal plan–such as saving the sales tax on every food purchase. For more on commuter life on campus, as well as commuter dining options, click visit the Commuter Student Services site.

This plan is an expansion of the West Campus Resident Meal Plan and has the same expiration date. Applications for a dual meal plan must be filled out at either the East Campus ID Office or the West Campus Meal Plan Office.

Meal Plan Terminology
All plans come with a pre-determined amount of campus points and flex credits, which are deducted from your account each time a purchase is made. Please note that resident meal plan balances do not carry over from semester to semester and that unused meal plan points are not refundable.
Campus Points: Campus points must be used at a minimum rate of 40 points every 2 weeks. The unused point balance will be forfeited at the close of business every other Wednesday. You can use your campus points at: Kelly Dining Center, Kelly Coffee and Tea House, Roth Food Court, Campus Connection at H-Quad, Starbucks, the Union Deli, Union Commons, Tabler Café, Student Activities Center, Delancey Street, Wolfie's, and LaValle Stadium/Sports Complex.
If you want to downgrade your meal plan, you must do so during the first or last three weeks of the semester. You can upgrade your meal plan at any time during the semester, as long as your student account is in good standing. Upgrades and downgrades must be made in writing (in person or via the Web).
Flex Credits: Flex Credits can be used at the Jasmine Food Court at the Charles B. Wang Center. Once you exhaust all of your campus points, your flex credits will become flexible, and can be used at any campus dining location.
Note: These prices are subject to change.
