2024-2025 Meal Plan Options

Collage featuring burger, tacos, and pizza

All students living on campus are required to participate in a meal plan. We offer by-the-week plans and by-the-semester plans, both of which offer a set number of meal swipe options as well as meal plan points. Many of these plans are centered around the idealMEAL. Understanding what the idealMEAL at Ãå±±ÂÖ¼éis will help you to select a meal plan to fit your needs.

First-Year & Sophomores

The meal plan prices reflected below are applicable to the 2024-2025 academic year.

Weekly Plans

These meal plans include a designated number of idealMEAL swipes that reset every Saturday night into Sunday morning throughout the semester. Unused meals will be forfeited each week. Meal plan points, a form of on-campus dining currency, are also included. Each point is equivalent to one dollar and can be used to purchase a coffee at Starbucks, items for your dorm room from Iggy's Market, or at on-campus dining locations that do not accept the idealMEAL.
