Meal Plans

All the food, all the places, for a fraction of the cost! 

Residents

Our resident meal plans are designed to meet the unique needs of students living in our traditional resident halls, who are required to purchase a meal plan. Our resident plans come with varying amounts of meal swipes to be used primarily in the Lion's Table, and Flex Dollars, which is a declining balance account similar to a debit card. Each plan also comes with the meal exchange option available at select retail dining locations for a predefined entree, side and beverage option. Multiple resident meal plan options are available for you to choose from based on your dining preferences and needs.

Meal Exchange

One meal exchange equals one set meal containing an entrée, a side, and a drink.

Think of a meal exchange as your "ticket" to a meal at an event - they do not have a dollar value.
