Meal Plans
All students residing on campus are required to have a meal plan. Selection for your meal plan is done on the housing application or on the Intent to Return form.
Students residing in traditional halls have 3 meal plans to choose from, residents of Spartan Suites have four. The number of meals listed for the meal plan is the number of meals students have to eat in the dining facilities each week. Meals replenish every Sunday. The "dining dollars" are additional funds students can use in other on-campus eateries during and outside of meal plan hours. While the meals replenish every week, dining dollars are for the semester.

Students with Special Needs
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, if you have a disability or think you have a disability, we ask that you contact the Office of Accessibility Services & International Students (O.A.S.I.S). Based on the provisions of your documentation from a physician, the Office of Disability Services will make a determination as to whether your documentation warrants specific on-campus accommodations. This needs to be done no later than 8-10 weeks prior to the start of the semester and in no ways guarantees the requested accommodations. Accommodations will only be considered once O.A.S.I.S provides the request directly to Housing & Residence Life.
