Residents
Our resident meal plans are designed to meet the unique needs of students living in our traditional resident halls, who are required to purchase a meal plan. Our resident plans come with varying amounts of meal swipes to be used primarily in the Dining Hall, and Dining Dollars and Bulldog Bucks, which are declining balance accounts similar to a debit card. Each plan also comes with a meal equivalency option which you can use at select retail dining locations for a combined total of up to $11.50. Multiple resident meal plan options are available for you to choose from based on your dining preferences and needs.
Unlimited meal swipes are used in dining locations. As part of the meal equivalence, students on the unlimited plan also have up to 5 meal swipes weekly available at any of our retail locations.
