Meal Plan Costs

One of the keys to thriving on campus is a well-balanced meal plan and understanding meal plans is vital. In this section, we've gathered everything you need about meal plan options and dining hall experiences!

Meal Plan Options

Are you looking to add or change your meal plan?

Students can conveniently request a meal plan addition or change through their Housing Portal. The link is on the left hand menu bar once logged in. Students requesting to remove or reduce their meal plan must submit a request by the first Thursday of every academic quarter. However, students can add or upgrade their meal plans at any time. 

Dates for the academic year, including the deadline to request a meal plan change, can be found on our Important Dates.
