As a resident dining plan member, you have unlimited access to three campus dining halls and can enjoy plenty of great food all semester long. You are welcome in the dining halls for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in between. To allow us to provide this plan, no carryout is permitted. Come in and try anything from the wide range of offerings on the serving lines.
Any time we are open, you are welcome — enjoy a meal, come in for a quick snack, or maybe just meet up with your friends.

Dining Plan Features & Important Details:
- Guest Passes:
Each dining plan comes with a specific number of guest passes that can be used to bring a guest for a dining experience. Additional guest passes can be purchased through your Dining Account. Each pass provides one dining experience for a guest.
Please note that guest passes do not carryover and may be voided due to public health circumstances or regulations.
- Dining Dollars:
Your dining plan includes Dining Dollars, which can be used across various campus dining locations. Dining Dollars spend Dollar for dollar. They are discounted when you purchase them and they offer tax savings on all purchases made at participating locations.
- Carryover of Dining Dollars:
Up to 100 unused Dining Dollars purchased with a fall resident dining plan will carry over to spring semester.
Dining Dollars purchased separately in the fall semester will carry over in full to spring semester.
All Dining Dollars expire at the end of finals week, spring semester.
