Meal Plans 101

A meal plan provides students with a predetermined number of meals and/or dining dollars to use at various on-campus dining locations during the semester.

All Meal Plans (Meals & Dining Dollars) are loaded to your univeristy card, making it even easier to dine on campus. This includes physical IDs, virtual IDs, and digital meal passes for students, faculty, and staff.

Apartment residents or students living off campus can change plans through the first two weeks of each semester.

All students residing in our Residence Halls are required to have either the 300-block platinum plan or the 300-block plan. The only exception is Copper residents may also choose the 150 Block Meal Plan.

Your meal plan and Dining Dollars will be loaded on your Lion OneCard. 

Students living in the Alpine Apartments or off campus are not required to have a meal plan, but are welcome to purchase any plan or Clyde's Cash. This can be done throughout the semester. 

No, meal plan holders may not give their Lion OneCard to another person to gain access. Meal plans are not transferable between students. If a meal plan holder gives their card to another person to gain access to a dining facility, the contract holder's card will be flagged/held and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. The cash price of the meal will be placed on the holder's plan/account.

Based on your plan, there are guest meals available. Once you run out of guest meals, you can pay with dining dollars, Clyde's Cash, credit cards, or cash.

Dining locations, hours, and menus are available through the dining website and online resources provided by Dining and Hospitality Services.

Dining Services offers options and accommodations for special diets and allergies. Students can review menus and connect with dining staff for support and guidance.

Mobile ordering allows you to order food through an app for pickup and earn rewards or promotions.
