All students living in the residence halls are required to hold a meal plan. These plans include a set number of meal swipes per week (students may choose between 15 and 19) plus a balance of Munch Money. Meal swipes are good at any campus dining center and grab-and-go location as well as some restaurants. These meal plans are being built into the residence hall , and the cost is the same for each plan. Meal plans include meals for both types of housing contract - Academic Year and Break Housing. Meals are served during fall and spring semesters but are not served during fall, winter or spring breaks. 

Dietary accommodations can be made for documented medical and disability-related needs. To learn more and request accommodation visit the Housing and Dining Accommodations page.
