Each meal plan is designed for convenience and flexibility. We encourage students to explore and experience their selected meal plan during the first few weeks of the semester.

If you find that a different plan better suits your needs, you'll have the opportunity to make a change at the start of each semester.

Fall 2024 meal plan change period: 

• August 30 through September 8, with new selections taking effect September 15 (reflected on your October Student Bill)

Spring 2025 meal plan change period: 

• November 15 through December 15, with new selections taking effect on January 15 (reflected on your January Student Bill). Note: January 15 is the first day of the spring meal plan.
• January 24 through February 2, with new selections taking effect February 9 (reflected on your March Student Bill)

After these change periods, students will be unable to make changes to their current semester meal plan. 

Meal Plan changes can be made on the Housing Portal during the timeframes listed above.

A Note about Meal Plan Allocations

On the first day of the meal plan, each meal plan account will be preloaded with $200 dining dollars. If you are on a block meal plan (Gold, Silver, Bronze), your account will be preloaded with 50 meal swipes.

On September 15, 2024 (Fall semester) and February 9, 2025 (Spring semester), requested meal plan changes will go into effect. Remaining dining dollar balances and block plan meal swipes will be loaded at that time as well.

This staggered disbursement allows flexibility, ensuring you can make changes to your meal plan smoothly.
