Campus Dining Services, in collaboration with the Executive Officers of the Student Government Association and the Association of Residence Halls, have created these meal plans in an effort to provide attractive options that meet the needs of the entire university community. In order to create these plans, research was conducted of institutions with similar demographics and those with meal plans of interest.
In addition, students, faculty, and staff were surveyed regarding their needs related to campus meal plans as well as given an opportunity to provide feedback on all aspects of the recommended plan. Feedback from all groups has been considered and incorporated where possible.
One of the major advantages to the new meal plan options is the focus on sustainability. While carry out is available, disposable containers do not support campus sustainability efforts. Therefore, you are highly encouraged to dine in rather than carry out whenever possible.
You have a lot on your plate: classes, papers, tests, work, hanging out with friends ... the list goes on and on! You don’t need to worry about cooking too! Campus Dining Services prepares convenient, fresh, and healthy options so you don't have to. Whether you are living in an on-campus residence hall* or an off-campus apartment, there’s a plan to fit your needs.

Please note that there is no dining center located in East Campus (Hewett-Manchester Halls); East Campus residents tend to dine at Watterson Commons located approximately one block away.
Dining centers are open continuously throughout the day from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. on weekdays, with slightly abbreviated hours on weekends.
