Traditional Meal Plans 
The Traditional Meal Plans offer 10, 12, 14 or 19  meals per week with varying amounts of declining balance funds.  Seven days a week, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner meals are eaten in one of the two all-u-care-to eat dining facilities (RDH and CAB). The Declining Balance that comes with each of these plans may be used in any retail dining facility and the two campus C-stores anytime.
Please note:  Unused meals for the week do not carry over to the next week.  Any unused Declining Balance funds do not roll over to the next semester.  The cost for these plans is based on a specific number of meals that dining services must be prepared to serve at each meal time.

Block Meal Plans 
A Block Meal Plan gives you either 125 or 150 meals that can be eaten anytime during the semester all served in the same facilities as the Traditional Meal Plan.  You can eat as many meals during a dining period as you want.  There are no maximum or minimum meals per week.  You can even treat a friend to a meal during the same dining period.
Please note:  Unused meals do not carry over to the next semester.  Any unused Declining Balance funds do not roll over to the next semester.

Declining Balance Meal Plans 
A Declining Balance Meal Plan is an account that can be used in any dining facility on campus and the two C-stores.  The account allows you to pay for food in all the retail dining venues, to purchase items in the two campus C-stores, and to pay per meal in the all-u-care-to eat dining facilities.  Because it's a meal plan you do not have to pay sales tax on the purchase which makes it better than cash.  Another benefit is that any unused balance will carry over to the next semester or session during the academic year.
Please note:  Unused declining balance funds do not carry over to the next academic year which begins with the Fall semester.
