This form is ONLY for Spring '24 Meal Plans. If you need a plan for any other semester, please go to our Meal Plans page and select the appropriate semester block.

All campus residents are required to have a meal plan. Commuters and Staff/Faculty are encouraged to consider a plan.

Already made a selection and have changed your mind? Simply complete the selection process again and it will update and replace any previous plan you may have enrolled in. Changes will be reflected on your campus bill usually within 3-5 days of processing. The meal plan change period for Spring'23 ends on Feb 3rd, 2023. No changes will be accepted after that date.
