Log onto the Housing Portal to select or change your meal plan during the Meal Plan Change Period.
Students living in the residence halls who do not select an eligible meal plan at the start of the Fall semester will be assigned the Platinum Unlimited Meal Plan. Students who do not change their meal plan for the Spring semester will be automatically re-enrolled with their current fall meal plan.
Fall Semester: Students may make changes to their meal plan in the housing portal until 4:00 p.m. on July 15. If a student wishes to change their fall meal plan after this date, they nust visit the Office of Residence Life & Housing between move-in day and 4:00 p.m. on the second Friday of classes to initiate a change.
Spring Semester: New students may make changes to their meal plan in the housing portal until 4:00 p.m. on December 1. New and returning students may also make changes to their spring meal plan by visiting the Office of Residence Life & Housing between our spring move-in day and 4:00 p.m. on the second Friday of classes.
Out of meals? Visit the Office of Residence Life & Housing for assistance in finding a solution that best meets your needs.
Students living in the Residence Halls (Killingsworth, Pierce, Legacy, or McCullough-Trigg) are required to select one of the following meal plans:
- Platinum All Access
- Gold 200
- Silver 150
Please note that the Bronze 75 Plan can only be selected by students living in apartments with access to a private kitchen.
Students living in Sunwatcher and Sundance are NOT required to select a meal plan, but may choose from one of the following if desired:
- Platinum All Access
- Gold 200
- Silver 150
- Bronze 75
The following are the meal plan rates per semester. Students have the ability to make changes before the start of each semester to their meal plans.
| Type of Meal Plan | Price Per Semester |
| Residential Students | |
| Platinum Unlimited (All Access) | $2,329 |
| Gold 200 | $2,090 |
| Silver 150 | $1,841 |
| On-Campus Apartments & Commuters | |
| Bronze 75 | $986 |
All meal plans can be used at any dining location on campus.
The Platinum All-Access plan is considered the "best value" and allows students to enter the Mesquite Dining Hall and Maverick's Corner an unlimited number of times each day unless a meal exchange is utilized.
The Gold 200, Silver 150, and Bronze 75 plans are considered “block” plans. Students have a designated number of meals in their block to use each semester. The Bronze 75 plan is only available to students living in the on-campus apartments or commuter students.
Students may also use their meal plan for one meal exchange per day at participating retail dining locations (i.e. Einstein Brothers Bagels, Chick-fil-A, Legacy Market, etc.) If a student uses their plan at a retail dining location, they will only be able to use flex dollars until the next meal period begins. Students on the All-Access plan must wait until the start of the next meal period to begin using their meal plan in Mesquite or Maverick’s Corner.
All base plans include $100 in flex dollars that can be used at any retail location or the Legacy Market. Additional flex dollars can be added to plans at increments of $100. Students often choose to use flex dollars for grab-and-go items, treating a guest to a meal, or for additional retail options after a meal exchange is used.
For information on Faculty/Staff Meal Plans and Maroon Commuter Plans, please visit the Dine-on-Campus Website.
All Meal plans can be used at any dining location on campus using either a meal swipe, meal exchange, or flex dollars, depending on the location.
- Mesquite Dining Hall
- A buffet-style dining facility, Mesquite Dining Hall is located in the Clark Student Center. Mesquite offers a wide variety of food options for students. Learn about their operating hours and find out what's on the menu by visiting the Dine On Campus website.
Most retail locations offer meal exchanges. One traditional meal swipe from the dining halls may be substituted for a pre-determined meal at participating retail venues on campus. These are also great locations to use your flex dollars and get snacks and treats in between meals.
