Sunday Dinner!
Our Sunday dinners are created with family and home in mind. Our Chef has put together very special meals -- carved beef, ham, or turkey with all the trimmings. Just like Mama and Grandmama used to make.

Students with an off-campus job or a medical condition who cannot be accommodated by Dining Services may apply for a meal plan reduction at the Auxiliary Services Office (For meal plan reduction, review and sign the Off-Campus Employment & Medical Meal Plan Reduction Policy; and, complete, if applicable, the Physician Statement for Meal Plan Reduction/Exemption form).
Commuter Meal Plans are available for students who do not live on campus, but wish to take advantage of the plan savings and to have the meal plan charged to their student account.
Commuter meal plans are non-refundable and expire at the end of the semester.
Faculty and Staff
Faculty and staff may purchase meal plans based on the commuter meal plan prices.
- 10 meals per semester -- $66
- 25 meals per semester -- $162
- 50 meals per semester -- $335
- 100 meals per semester -- $549
This is a savings over the casual rate that is paid at the door. Instructions are on the Faculty/Staff Meal Plan Application form. Meal plans may be purchased at the Cashier's Office with cash, check, credit card, or by payroll deduction.
