Meal plan contracts for residential students are linked to the housing contract. Meal Plans can be changed up to 5:00 p.m. the day before meals begin each semester.
Step 1: Make sure you've signed up for an ePass. You can click here to do that.
Step 2: Go to the Residential Life page and submit your PLU Master Housing & Meal Agreement. Click here to go to the Housing Application page. Choose "Apply for Housing" on the left side of the page to get to the contract. After you submit your contract, you're automatically signed up for the Lute Choice Meal Plan. If that's what you want, then you're done. If you want to choose a different Meal Plan, go to Step 3.
Step 3: To choose a Meal Plan other than the Lute Choice, go to the Optional Meal Plan Contract link here on the Dining & Culinary Services site. Be ready to sign in with your ePass. If you need to read through the Meal Plan Descriptions first, please click here.
Step 4: Fill out and submit the Optional Meal Plan Contract. You may choose a meal plan for Fall, J-Term and Spring terms right there. Click submit and you are done.
If you live on-campus during J-Term, you must have a meal plan just like Fall and Spring Terms.
If you were living on-campus during Fall, and are planning to live off-campus for J-Term, you will still have a housing assignment and meal plan for J-Term until you cancel it through Residential Life.

There are no summer meal plans and The Commons & Old Main Market run VERY limited hours throughout the summer. There all no all-you-care-to-eat meals during the summer, all summer meals are a la carté.
Meals may be purchased at any open Campus Restaurant with cash, Visa/MasterCard/Discover, Dining Dollars and LuteBuck$.
You may add Dining Dollars to your account here. If you find you have Dining Dollars left in your account as Fall Term begins, you may want to choose a smaller meal plan for Fall. Please remember that Dining Dollars purchased during the summer will expire Sunday, May 27, 2012 at 10pm. The advantage to Dining Dollars is that there's no tax added to any food purchased with Dining Dollars—although they may only be used for food items.
You may add LuteBuck$ to you account through the bookstore website here. The advantage to LuteBuck$ is that they do not expire & they may be used for items other than food.
