These meal plans are non-refundable.

Meal Plans can be purchased at the Office of University Housing & Dining Services located in the west wing, lower level of the MLK Jr. University Union.  You may pay by credit/debit card, money order, personal check, or by charging it to your EIU account. Your Panther Card is needed at the time of purchase.
