Selecting A Meal Plan

The 2019-2020 meal plans are designed to provide maximum flexibility, value and convenience. These meal plans include declining balance funds called Discount Dollars that activate deep discounts in resident dining rooms (i.e., all-you-care-to-eat) and at retail dining venues. All resident students are required to be on a meal plan. Meal plans are purchased per semester.

Fall meal plans take effect on August 22, 2019 at 4pm.

Fall Meal Plans can be added and changed by eligible students on or about August 25, 2019 through September 6, 2019.

Change your meal plan

Option #1 is automatically assigned to resident freshmen but can be changed to myUnlimited plan option #2. 

For all Resident, University Apartment & Commuter Students

The myUnlimited Meal Plan gives you the opportunity to have unlimited meals (i.e., swipe in as much as you want during the hours operation) at the all-you-care-to-eat dining halls (Indian, State, and Alumni), and also provides the flexibility to eat at retail locations at deep discounts with Discount Dollars.  The myUnlimited meal plan is required for all resident freshmen. Option #1 is automatically assigned to resident freshmen but can be changed to myUnlimited plan option #2.

MyFlex option#2 is automatically assigned to resident non-freshmen, but can be changed to any other myFlex OR myUnlimited plan. 

For all Resident Non-Freshman, University Apartment & Commuter Students.

The myFlex Meal Plan, with five (5) options and the ability to add more to your plan as you go, was designed so you have the freedom to eat when you want and where you want, with no restrictions. It’s the ultimate lifestyle meal plan because the myFlex plan has NO FIXED MEAL SWIPES at resident dining rooms! You can choose--100% of the time--where YOU want to dine. It also includes Discount Dollars.

For University Apartment & Commuter Students.

The myChoice Meal Plan offers University apartment and commuter --who are not required to have a meal plan--the opportunity to explore and experience the benefits, variety and convenience of dining on campus with an abridged version of the myFlex Meal Plan.  The myChoice plan has NO FIXED SWIPES at resident dining rooms! You can choose--100% of the time--where YOU want to dine; however, unlike the myFlex plan, the myChoice plan does not allow additional Discount Dollars to be added and only one myChoice Plan can be purchased per semester.
