Selecting a meal plan starts with thinking about what fits your student experience. Whether you are a new or incoming student getting to know campus life, a continuing student balancing a busy schedule, or living off-campus and looking for extra convenience, there’s a meal plan option designed for you. No matter where you live or what your day looks like, having a plan makes it easy to enjoy fresh, delicious meals without the daily stress of cooking.
New and Incoming Students
If you are an incoming freshman or transfer student, you will receive a notification to complete your New Student Housing Application during the spring. Within the housing application, you will then be able to select your meal plan. For more details regarding the different meal plan options and rates, please visit the meal plan options page.
Please note that all students living in an on-campus traditional or suite-style room are required to select a meal plan. If you live on-campus in traditional or suite-style housing and do not choose a meal plan, you will be assigned to the Open Access plan by default.
Continuing Students
If you are a continuing student who is staying on-campus for the next academic year, you will have the option to select your meal plan within the Continuing Student Housing Application during the Room Selection process in the spring.
If you have selected or been assigned to an apartment-style residence, you will not be assigned a meal plan. Students living in apartment-style residences can still choose to enroll in a meal plan.
Off-Campus Students and On-Campus Students in Apartment-Style Residences
If you are a student living off-campus or on-campus in an apartment-style residence, you still have the opportunity to enroll in a meal plan. Please refer to this page for instructions on how to enroll in a meal plan.
Part-Time Students
If you are a part-time student, you may enroll in a meal plan by completing the Part-Time Student Meal Plan application form.
Graduate Students
If you are a graduate student, you may enroll in a meal plan by logging into the My Housing Portal and selecting the “Meal Plan” tab, where you will be able to enroll in a meal plan for the full academic year.
