The meal plan begins on August 15, 2025. Fall meal points end on January 8, 2026. The spring meal plan begins on the evening of January 8, 2026 and ends on May 7, 2026. Students who are not registered for classes, will not be able to use their mean points until enrolled, even if that student is living or working on campus.
Students who cancel their housing before the 10th day of the term, will receive a credit on their student account for the unused meal points on their plan. Students who cancel their housing on or after the 10th day of term, are not eligible to receive a credit for unused meal points.
Resident students who are eligible to select a lower meal plan based on their apartment, suite, or room status must complete their request by August 5, 2025 for fall semester and December 5, 2025 for spring semester. After these dates, students are no longer eligible to reduce their meal plans.
Students moving onto campus after the first day of classes may be eligible to select a reduced meal plan based on the first date of occupancy, as determined by The University. Students moving onto campus after the first day of classes may not change their meal plan once occupancy has started.
Dining Services hours and operations subject to change during break periods.
Failure of a student to utilize their meal plan does not relieve the student of the obligation to pay for the meal plan.
