Residence Hall Student Meal Plans
Meal plans can often be more cost-effective than purchasing meals individually.
Who is required to purchase a meal plan?
All residence hall students are required to purchase one of the Anytime Access meal plans, except for those living in Swanson Hall and University Place who are not required to live on campus due to the first year live on requirement.
Selecting a Meal Plan
- Students will select their meal plan when signing the Room and Meal Plan Agreement in Housing Self Service.
- Meal plan selections must be made by the last business day in June.
- View our video on how to select your meal plan.
