Meal plans are mandatory for all students living in Residence Halls. Commuter and resident students may purchase additional points separately.  "Points" represent money and can be used at specific food locations throughout the University.

For every point purchased, ARAMARK will deposit bonus points into the account balance (i.e. $100 cash = $110 in points).

Commuter meal plans may also be purchased directly from ARAMARK.
