Meal Plans & Convenience Points

The University offers multiple dining plans during the academic year, all designed to meet a variety of tastes and schedules. Each plan includes a combination of meals (to be used in residence dining rooms) and Dining Points (for on-campus dining locations).

Convenience Points are purchased separately from dining plans, giving students a flexible way to pay for laundry, textbooks, snacks, and more. They’re just like cash—only better.
