MEAL PLANS
College life can be challenging, but dining should be effortless. That's why all students living on campus are required to participate in a meal plan.
Our meal plans are designed to ensure that you are provided with the fuel you need for academic, social, and athletic success.
Meal plans with swipes are to be used at Upper Wismer only. Meal exchange is to be used in lieu of meal swipe at participating meal swipe locations. Dining Dollars included with your meal plans are accepted at all dining locations and expire at the end of each semester.
