Available Meal Plans

A meal plan is pre-paid each semester and offers you the assurance of being able to eat without having to carry cash.  There are two plans to choose from for freshmen students and four plans to choose from for continuing students or commuters.  All campus residents, with the exceptions noted immediately below, must purchase a meal plan.*

Meal Plans consist of three (3) types of funds, Board Meal Credits, Dining Dollars, and Rocket Dollars.  Each is intended for a specific purpose.  Wisely choosing which specific funds to use and where you choose to eat can stretch the funds of each plan while still providing proper nutrition and a variety of meal choices.  Please click this paragraph for more detailed information.

Freshmen residents must choose either the
Premier 19 or Rocket 15 plan.
