Meal Plan Information

2020-21

The following meal plans will be available to all students for the 2020-21 academic year. All first year undergraduate resident students are required to have a weekly meal plan while returning, transfer and graduate students may elect either a weekly or block meal plan. New, first year undergraduate students may select a weekly meal plan. If a meal plan is not selected students will be assigned the Raider 15 Weekly Meal Plan. Commuter students may select any of the meal plans. All students may change meal plans through September 11, 2020 for fall semester. Meal plans automatically roll over from fall to spring semester. Students have until January 29, 2021 to change or cancel a meal plan for spring 2021 (unless you are a first year undergraduate resident student for spring 2021). Meal plans can be selected at any time.

Commuter students can select from the Commuter Plan, the Weekly Meal Plan or the Block Meal plan, depending on individual needs.
