Meal Plan
All semester meal plans follow the residence halls schedule of operations during the academic year. Fall semester meal plans begin on the residence halls move-in day for first year students. Fall semester meal plans conclude at the end of the semester.
Fall Early Arrival Meal Plans begin one week before the residence halls move-in day for multi-year students. Early Arrival meals roll forward into the following semester and do not expire until the end of the semester.
