Do I need to buy a meal plan?

All undergraduate students who live on campus are required to be enrolled in the minimum required meal plan based upon their housing assignment.  All undergraduate students given permission to live at home or off campus may select any meal plan option with a minimum requirement of the Commuter Declining Plan.

Will my meal plan auto renew for next semester?

Yes, a meal plan contract is binding for the entire academic year.

Will unused meals or Declining Balance roll over?

Declining Balance funds can roll over from the Fall semester to Spring semester but cannot be rolled over from year to year.
