About meal plans

Dining on Campus
Meal Plans

  • Students with a block meal plan may use the meals for their choice of breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Residential Dining Facility (RDF) up to the number of meals they select, per semester.  The remaining meal balance decreases by one meal block each time the meal plan is used. There is no weekly meal limit with this meal plan.  When there are no meals remaining in the block plan, students may purchase another meal block.  
  • Students with a weekly meal plan may use the meals for their choice of breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Residential Dining Facility.  Students receive a set number of meals per week based on the meal plan they select. Each time you eat in the Lawrence Hall Dining Room, one meal is subtracted from your weekly meal allowance. 
  • Residential Dining Facility (RDF) - All meals are all-you-care-to-eat.  Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served Monday though Friday; brunch and dinner are served Saturday and Sunday.
  • Meal Exchange - As an alternative to the RDF, a block or meal may be used as a meal exchange in the Point Café during breakfast, dinner or late night.  A meal exchange cannot be used for lunch.
  • Flex dollars work like a bank debit card. Each time you make a food purchase, the total is subtracted from the balance in your account.  Flex dollars can be used in all of our food service locations:
