MEAL PLANS
College life can be challenging, but dining should be effortless. That's why all students living on campus are required to participate in a meal plan.
Meal swipes are used at Ravenhill Dining Hall for all-you-care-to-eat brunch or dinner meals.
Bonus Dollars may be used at any campus dining location for à la carte meals, snacks, and beverages.
Meal plans run Sunday to Saturday; weekly meal swipes reset on Sunday morning. Unused meals do not carry over from week to week, and unused Bonus Dollars expire at the end of the semester.
