Resident Meal Plans

Click here to add Declining Balance Dollars to any meal plan online NOW!

Eat what you want, when you want, where you want. If you live on campus, you are automatically enrolled in a meal plan. Your LR student ID card electronically identifies your as a dining plan member. Meals per week are combined with Bear Bucks to create a plan that fits your needs. 

Bear Bucks are included with your meal plan. Use them to buy items in our retail locations on campus. Any unused Bear Bucks transfer from fall to spring semester. Unused Bear Bucks are nonrefundable and expire at the end of the academic year.

Declining Balance Dollars can be added to supplement your weekly meal plan and can be used in all our retail locations on campus, as well as Cromer Dining Hall. You can add Declining Balance Dollars to any plan at any time. Add declining balance by clicking the "BUY ONLINE NOW" at the top of this screen. You may also make a deposit at the LR Campus Dining Office located in Cromer Center Dining Hall, or call 828-328-7144. You may also contact the LR Business Office, 828-328-7104. Unused Declining Balance Dollars transfer to the next semester, and carry over as long as you are a student at LR. Choose the meal plan that works best for you!

Weekly Meal Plans
Each entry into the Dining Hall counts as one meal. You're in control of how you use your meals to fit your schedule, your eating habits and nutritional needs. Dine on hot soup and a salad before class, then grab a sandwich after class the same day, you've used 2 meals. Or, you can use one meal per meal period...it's all up to you!
