Find great value, variety and convenience with flexible meal plans to fit your busy schedule and stay within your budget. With a variety of locations and convenient hours, you can connect, refuel and save time and money with one of the following meal plan options.

Residential Student Options

New Students (first year and transfer) may choose the Gold or Platinum Plan for their first year in housing.

Returning Students may choose any residential meal plan offered.

All meal plans can be used in any dining facility on campus and include 5 guest passes per semester, which come in handy when friends and family come to visit!

You are provided with a specific number of meals per semester, based on your meal plan (see plans below). At each meal period, you can use a meal swipe in the all-you-can-eat facilities, or use a swipe as meal equivalency at the a la carte options. Flex dollars can be used in the all-you-can-eat facilities during any meal period or for a quick snack between meals!

Undergraduate Commuter and Pharmacy Student Options

Commuter students can choose any of the resident student plans above or the Copper Meal Plan which is tailored specifically for commuter and Pharmacy student needs.

Meal Plan Costs

This authorization only needs to be completed one time; you do not need to complete this step each semester.
