NOTE: The university reserves the right to alter fees without notice.
a. Residential Meal Plan Requirements
All students will be automatically enrolled in one of the seven plans, but with the option to change plans before payment is due.
- Any student living in a residence hall — including graduate students — must purchase one of the following meal plans: Platinum All-Access, Gold All-Access and Silver All-Access.
- Residence hall freshmen and transfer students will be assigned the Gold All-Access plan but can change to either of the other two All-Access plans through the student housing portal.
- Returning residence hall students — sophomore through graduate student — will be assigned the Platinum All-Access plan, but can change to either of the other two All-Access plans through the student housing portal.
- Returning undergraduate or graduate students living in a campus Townhouse or Garden Apartment will be assigned the Block 80 meal plan, but can choose any of the All-Access meal plans, a lower Block plan, or choose no meal plan through the student housing portal.
- Off-campus and commuter students will be assigned the Block 25 meal plan, but can choose a different meal or Block plan, or choose no meal plan.
- Graduate students living off campus will not be auto-enrolled in any plan, but are welcome to choose one.
NOTE: If a student’s room assignment changes from an apartment to a traditional residence hall, the student will be required to take a full meal plan (
Platinum All-Access, Gold All-Access or Silver All-Access), regardless of whether the change is student-initiated or mandated by the university. The change will take effect the day the room switch is finalized and the student will automatically be assigned the
Silver All-Access plan if they do not indicate otherwise.
b. Unused Dining Dollars and Block Plan Transfer
Unused Dining Dollars and student block plan meals will transfer from the fall to spring semester. At the end of the spring semester, unused Dining Dollars and student block plan meals are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to the summer or the new academic year. Absolutely no reimbursements will be given for unused meal plans or Dining Dollars.
c. Meal Plan Changes
Within the above-mentioned guidelines, students may change their meal plan during the first ten (10) business days of each semester only. This policy is strictly enforced. Students can add Dining Dollars at any time during either semester. Meal plan changes and Dining Dollar additions can be completed online through the students housing portal.
d. Meal Plans and Dining Availability During Break Periods
Meal plans are not in effect and cannot be used when the campus and/or residence halls are closed during Winter Break and spring semester Midterm Break. Residence halls remain open for October Midterm Break, Easter Break and Thanksgiving Break with limited dining services options. There will be no dining services available on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 26, 2026) and Easter Sunday (Sunday, March 28, 2027).
