Meal Plan Rates

Dining Services offers five pre-paid, non-refundable meal plans. Each plan contains LION Dollars, which are declining balance accounts. Conveniently accessed with your OneCard, your plan can be used to purchase food for yourself, friends and guests in one of our many outstanding campus dining venues. Meal plans will be active through the end of the academic year (end of Spring semester). 

Meal Plans

All students living on campus are required to purchase one of the five plans. Students in apartments are required to have at minimum the A Plan but may purchase any of the plans through the online application. Students in residence halls (including suite style buildings) are required to have at minimum the N Plan.

*The A Meal Plan is only available to students living in an apartment.

Which Plan Should I Purchase?

This is one of the most challenging questions to answer due to the widely varying eating habits of college students. Broadly speaking, here are the recommendations listed below.

"L" Plan

The recommended plan for students who eat most of their meals on campus. Budgeted for roughly 18 meals per week.

"I" Plan 

An ideal plan for residential students who frequently eat on campus, but occasionally forgo breakfast or purchase meals off campus. Budgeted for roughly 16 meals per week.

"O" Plan

The recommended plan for the students who eat a significant number of meals off campus or prepare many of their meals in an on-campus apartment. Budgeted for roughly 14 meals per week.

"N" Plan 

The recommended plan for students who live off-campus or enjoy just a small number of meals and snacks on campus. Budgeted for roughly 12 meals per week.

"A" Plan

The recommended plan for students who live in apartments on campus. 

LION Dollar Plans:

All LION plans are credited to the student’s OneCard in semester increments. The balances of each LION Dollars will carry forward from fall to spring semesters, but will expire at the end of Spring semester. *Refer to Academic Calendar for specific dates
