Student Dining Plan Requirements

Any enrolled or leave term student residing in College housing for undergraduates (including residence halls and apartments, affinity/special interest programs, and College or privately-owned Greek Letter Organization and Society facilities) is required to participate in one of the on-campus dining plan options. Any enrolled student who is not living in College housing for undergraduates is required to participate in a dining plan, at a minimum level of the off-campus plan. First-year students are assigned to the first-year dining plan during the first term of enrollment. After the first term, first-year students may elect from the same dining plan options available to upper-class students.
