* Approximately

Our meal plans are designed specifically to match the lifestyle of artists. They're also your best buy for eating on campus-you always get more for your dollar when you use a block meal rather than purchasing the same items à la carte.

Breakfast is served both à la carte and "all-you-care-to-eat." A la carte and block meal selections are available in both the Meyerhoff House Dining Room and at Café Doris, located in the Fox Building. Lunch and dinner in the Meyerhoff House Dining Room during the week and all weekend meals (brunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday) are "all-you-care-to-eat."

In addition to the block meals, meal plans include "dining dollars." These provide the greatest value when used for a cup of coffee or a snack between classes. Dining dollars are exclusively for food at Meyerhoff House Dining Room, Café Doris, and Java Corner and may be redeemed without using a block meal.

First-year students are required to select meal plans of 150 or greater. Students may change, add, or drop meal plans within the first week of each semester. However, once the meal plan change period has expired, students will not be able to drop or reduce plans. Unused block meals will be forfeited at the end of each semester. Dining dollars carry over from fall to spring semester but are forfeited at the end of the year. Please note that even if you live off-campus, you can still sign up for a meal plan.

This fee allows most campus events to be free for students, and the remainder are provided at a reduced cost.
