Selecting Your Meal Plan

Fall Break Hours of Operation

We're pleased to offer flexible dining options during the fall break period running from Friday, October 13 to Wednesday, October 17, 2023. See what's open and when on the Fall Break hours webpage.

Selecting Your Meal Plan

Students dine in the East Campus Dining Center

The process for selecting a meal plan is different depending on a student's housing arrangement while at the university as well as their class standing. Some meal plans are available to first-year students while others are reserved for returning students. Find more information on the meal plans webpage.
