2026-27 Academic Year Meal Plan Changes

For the 2026 - 2027 Academic Year, students were preassigned the 14-track meal plan.  The Change Your Meal Plan option was available until Friday, September 4, 2026 at 11:59 p.m., ET.

After September 4, students may not make changes to their fall meal plan (raise or lower).  

Students can make changes to their spring meal plan in the housing contract portal during designated dates in January, 2027.

  • If you are changing plans at semester break and moving up or down into a new plan, any unspent Dining Dollars will roll over to the new plan.


The Fine Print

When choosing a meal plan please be aware that you are signing up for the full academic year. You can make changes to your meal plan during designated times, but you cannot drop the meal plan while you are living in University Residences. Residents of Hawkins Hall or Hilltop Apartments are not required to purchase a meal plan. Students assigned to these residences who wish to change to a room-only option must do so prior to the start of the Fall contract. The last day to change to room-only was Thursday, August 20, 2026 at 11:59 pm ET. Current residents of non-apartment halls who transfer to Hilltop Apartments or Hawkins Hall can select a room-only option when they are initially assigned. Residents of Hawkins Hall or Hilltop Apartments may eat at any residential dining services location by purchasing a meal plan in the housing portal or paying with credit/debit.
