Meal Plan

All the food, all the places, for a fraction of the cost! 

Residents

Our resident meal plan is designed to meet the unique needs of students living in our traditional resident halls, who are required to purchase a meal plan. The dining plan comes with unlimited meal swipes to be used primarily in the culinary centers, and Flex Dollars, which is a declining balance account similar to a debit card. Flex Dollars are accepted at all retail locations including Saxbys.

Convenience Items

Convenience items are part of the student meal plan during the academic year and are designed for students on the go who are pressed for time to eat in the culinary centers due to back-to-back classes. Limited breakfast items and lunch items — assorted salads and sandwiches — are available while classes are in session, Monday–Friday, 8:00am–2:00pm, and until 4:00pm at the Leaky Beaker. Convenience items are not available during holidays, Tanner, Ruhlman, winter session, or spring break. Convenience items end on the last day of classes each fall and spring semester.
