Modify a Residential Meal Plan

All residential students are required to have a meal plan for the fall and spring semesters. Meal plans are automatically added to the student’s account once a student has been assigned and confirmed housing. If you are unsure of your housing status, please email

Meal plans will not physically show for usage until the first day of the semester. However, the billing of the meal plan and ability to change the meal plan will show approximately one week after housing has been confirmed.

For Fall and Spring semesters, all residential students are assigned the default meal plan of 19 meals per week plus $100 dining dollars. Residential students can modify their meal plan based on the options available to them based on where they reside.

Note: The last day to cancel or decrease a Residential or Commuter meal plan for Fall or Spring semesters is five business days after the start of classes.
