Residential Meal Plans

Residential Meal Plans provide access to healthy, well-balanced meals at our dining commons and Latitude throughout the academic year. Unlimited seconds are included at all meals. Residential Meal Plans are automatically included in residence hall contracts and are available to residents at The Green and Orchard Park as an optional purchase.

Available Plans

Two meal plans are available for students who live in the residence halls: the 5-Day Plan and the 7-Day Plan. Three meal plans are available to students who live in The Green and Orchard Park communities: the 5-Day Plan, the 7-Day Plan, and the 9-Meals-A-Week Plan.

Every Residential Meal Plan provides access to all three dining commons and Latitude. Every Residential Meal Plan also includes $200 in Aggie Cash per quarter to be spent at a variety of campus dining and coffee locations.
