Residential Meal Plan Requirement

If you have an active on-campus housing assignment, you are required to also have a meal plan (unless you live in South Hall).

Meal Plan E is only for residents in Stuen and South Hall or off-campus students.

How Your Meal Plan Works for 2021-2022

  • The Residential Meal Plan is a combination of a declining balance plan (Dining Dollars) and All-You-Care-To-Eat meal periods.
  • When you purchase your meal plan, Dining Dollars funds are loaded onto your LuteCard.
    • Like a debit account, Dining Dollars in your meal plan account are deducted when you make food purchases. To make a purchase, swipe your LuteCard at a cash register, or order through the GET mobile app.
    • Dining Dollars will roll over each semester and expire the last day of classes in Spring.
  • A la Carte Meal Periods: Monday-Saturday breakfast and lunch and Saturday dinners — during these periods, every food item has an individual price.
  • All-You-Care-to-Eat (AYCTE) Meal Periods: Monday–Friday dinners and all day Sunday
    • Unlimited AYCTE with Meal Plans A-D allow students to enter The Commons as many times as they like during AYCTE periods.
  • Meal plans are non-transferable.

With the exception of Stuen and South Hall residents, students with an active housing assignment must enroll in one of the following four meal plans: A, B, C or D. Stuen residents must enroll in one of the following five plans: A, B, C, D or E. South Hall residents and commuter students may purchase a meal plan, but it is not required. You are encouraged to purchase Dining Dollars which can be added in any increment and are not subject to sales tax (but they still expire the last day of classes in May).

Note: All Dining Dollar purchases are sales tax exempt.

About Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars are exempt from State Sales Tax and are accepted at  all Campus Restaurants. They may be used for food purchases only. You can add tax exempt Dining Dollars through the GET app ($2.75 fee), online (charge to student account) or at Old Main Market.

Your Dining Dollar balance carries over from Fall to Spring and expires the last day of Spring term. Be sure to budget your Dining Dollars to make sure they last through the semester. Here is a helpful chart to help with week to week balance checking.
