Meal Plans
When selecting a meal plan, a student is selecting this option for the academic year (Fall & Spring Semesters). Meal Plans are billed per semester and added to the tuition bill. Dining Dollar balances do not roll over to next semester or credited to student. All meal plans start over for the next semester.
The following meal plans have been designed to meet your campus dining needs. To make changes to an existing plan, please contact Residence Life at Housing or 254-968-9083.
All residential students are required to have a meal plan based on their class year and housing assignment:
- First-year students must select the 12, 14, or 17 Meal Plan.
- Second-year students must select the 12, 14, or 17 Meal Plan unless they live in apartment-style housing. Second-year students in apartment-style housing are also eligible for the Super Flex 7 Plan.
- Commuter students may purchase any available meal plan.
Students may increase their meal plan throughout the semester. Eligible students may only reduce or remove their meal plan through the 12th class day.
Dining Dollars included with a meal plan may be used at participating on-campus dining and retail locations, including T-Birds, Panera, Baskin Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chick-fil-A, Blaze Pizza, Starbucks, Sandella’s, Texan Food Court, Dining Hall, Dunkin’, Auntie Anne’s, and Oscar P’s General Store.
