How do I sign up for a Meal Plan?

As an off-campus student, you have the same four meal plan options (Unlimited, 125 Meal, 100 Meal, and 75 Meal) as an on-campus student, plus the option of our Commuter Meal Plan. You will need to fill out and sign an off-Campus Meal Plan Contract. The form can either be picked up at the Housing Assignments Office in the Edens Hall main lobby (8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday – Friday) or you may download the form. Completed contracts must be returned to:

Commuter Meal Plan

• This affordable and flexible dining plan is designed specifically for off-campus students.
• The plan includes 5 meals per week (Sunday – Saturday) in any of the three Resident Dining Commons. Meals expire at the end of the week (Saturday night).
• $150 Dining Dollars per quarter are included in the plan. These may be used at any of the 13 dining locations on campus.
• Meals may not be used as Guest Meals. No more than one meal may be used during each meal period.
• The Commuter Meal Plan contract is for one full academic year. If you would like to change or cancel your meal plan, you must visit the Main Dining Office in Edens Hall, Suite 109 within the first two weeks of each quarter.
