Students living in the residence halls and Greek Court have a room and board contract and automatically have a meal plan. The five different meal plans available are made up of a combination of Dining Dollars and Meal Swipes Per Week. These are encoded on the student's Panther Card.
There are five (5) meal plan options. They are the 7+ plan, the 10+ plan, the 12+ plan, the 15+plan, and the unlimited plan. Each plan allows you to eat a specific number of meals in the University-operated dining centers each week. Additonally, the Meal Plan permits each resident to use a specified number of Dining Dollars. Room and board rates, set during the rate development process, take into consideration that students do not eat every meal available to them, therefore the cost of each meal is adjusted accordingly. These meals cannot be shared with another student nor do they roll over from week to week. At the end of the fall semester, if you are a continuing student, any remaining Dining Dollars on your account will automatically roll over to the spring semester with all dining dollars expiring at the end of the spring semester.
