All About Meal Plans
Your meal plan is your all-access pass to dining on campus. Dining on campus give you the convenience of eating what and when you want, without leaving campus and losing your parking spot, shopping, or doing dishes. Coming in fall 2022 - we're making dining on campus even more convenient with Kiwibot robot delivery. Your available meal plan options depend on your housing situation on campus. If you live on campus, you are required to have a meal plan.
Residences without Kitchens - If you live in a dorm or suite without a kitchen, you have several options.- The default plan is the Hound Unlimited 5 Day Plan. The Hound Unlimited offers Unlimited meal swipes Sunday dinner - Friday lunch, and Dining Dollars for the weekend. This plan works great if you are frequently away on weekends or prefer to dine out or at the B&G on the weekends.
- Your other option at the same price is the Hound 200 plan. The Hound 200 plan offers 200 meal swipes to be used anytime during the semester, as well as Dining Dollars.
- You do have the option to upgrade to Gold Unlimited, which is Unlimited swipes 7 days per week. This plan works well if you would like the flexibility of being able to come and go in The Star and Clewell.
Residences with Kitchens - if you live in a dorm or suite with a kitchen, you have other options as well:
- You will still initially default to the Hound Unlimited 5 Day plan.
- You have the option to choose the Silver or Bronze plan with a kitchen. The Silver plan has more meal swipes and fewer Dining Dollars than the Bronze plan, so it's best for students who prefer to eat in The Star or Clewell. The Bronze plan has more Dining Dollars and is great for a student that cooks occasionally and likes to grab food from Clewell Convenience, the B&G or DeLight's Café.
- You can always upgrade to the Hound 200 plan, or the Gold Unlimited plan.
- Note that you can change meal plans until the end of the first week of classes. See our FAQ for instructions on changing your plan.
Commuters - you are not required to have a meal plan but you may find it convenient and economical. Here are your options:
- You can choose any of our three Commuter meal plans. They have fewer meal swipes and some Dining Dollars, too. With a commuter meal plan, you can save money on our door rate at The Star or Clewell.
- You can choose any of our Resident student meal plans if you will be on campus more frequently.
- You can add Hound Bucks, which earn you up to 20% bonus of free dollars, and they don't expire until you leave or graduate.
