Meal Plan Memberships - Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a meal plan membership?
If you are a freshman or live in the Brooks Residential College, we have developed four memberships that will fit your lifestyle. You can choose from The Unlimited, The Classic, The Works, or The Block 225.

If you are not a freshman or do not live in Brooks Residential College, you can purchase a meal plan membership if you would like convenience and to make your life simpler. There is also the value of having meals specially prepared for you, no dirty dishes for you to clean up and we offer daily menus and nutritional values on-line...what could be more convenient?  Enrolling in a dining membership allows you to enjoy great tastes on campus with friends.

Benefits include:

• Guaranteed all-you-care-to-eat meals and the flexibility of á la carte purchasing
• You don't have to worry about wasting money on ATM fees or carrying cash.  Just swipe your card and go!
• Convenient dining spots are located everywhere you want to be and need to be for classes.

Can I carry over my unused meals to the next week?
It depends on which meal plan membership you have. If you have a block plan, you can use your meals any way you like at any residential restaurant. However, if you have a traditional “meals per week plan” like The Works or The Classic, the meals must be used in the week they’re assigned and cannot be carried over to the next week. How flexible you want your meal plan to be is totally up to you, your eating habits and your schedule for that semester.

Can I change my meal plan?
Yes. We want you to have the plan that fits your lifestyle. In the first two weeks of each semester, if you find your meal plan isn’t working with your schedule as well as you thought it would, you can change it. Before September 5th for the fall semester and January 23 for the spring semester you can switch to a lower plan. You can change to a higher plan anytime.

Can I eat more than one meal in a meal period?

Yes you can!  We know you have a hectic schedule.  We want you to be able to eat your meals how you want! Are two breakfasts and one dinner your style?  What about two lunches and late night?  Whatever you want, it is all up to you. 

If I want to bring a guest, and they are going to pay at the door, how much is it?

Breakfast is $5.25, lunch is $8.25, dinner is $8.75 and late night is $6.00

How do I sign up for a dining membership?
