The meal plan offered to each student is voluntary; you choose to be our customer. First-year students living on-campus are eligible for our All-Access and 180-Block Plan Plus 300 Paw Points. Upper-level students living on campus are eligible for our Upper-Level Student Meal Plan as well as our All-Access Plans. Students living off-campus are eligible for all of these as well as a Commuter Block Plan with Paw Points.

You can purchase a meal plan online. The charge will be added to your student account. Payment deadlines and more information about your Student Account are available at the Bursar’s Office. Be sure to check your student account after your purchase to verify that you fall under the standard deadlines. You can learn more about how to purchase a meal plan here.

Yes, you can purchase a meal plan after meal plan service has begun. However, the cost for the meal plan remains the full amount for the first 7 days of meal service. After that time, the cost will be reduced by one day’s cost at the daily meal plan rate for either the 5-day or 7-day meal plans.

Note: Because the meal plan cost stays the same for the first week, there is no cost advantage in waiting to get on the meal plan unless you have no choice due to funds availability.
