Dining Plans
Regardless of which dining plan you choose, you may eat in any of our dining halls or express areas. One meal is deducted from your plan each time you enter the dining hall. Once you’ve entered the hall, you may eat as much as you wish for that one meal. If you leave the dining hall and then re-enter, another meal will be deducted.
Traditional Dining Plans (12, 15 or 19 Meals Per Week)
Residence Hall students will select one of three dining plan options (12, 15 or 19 meals per week) when they complete their fall/spring Residence Hall Housing contract online.
Apartment residents or off-campus students may purchase a Traditional Plan by contacting our office at 618.453.2301. Dining plans purchased by individuals living off-campus will include tax.
While traditional dining plan meals do NOT roll over from week to week (they start over on Sundays), students typically use any unused or remaining meals to go "shopping" in our express areas.
Block-20 Plan
The Block-20 Plan is for apartment residents, off-campus students and faculty or staff. This plan is equivalent to 20 meals in University Housing dining facilities and is also valid in our express areas.
More than one Block-20 Plan may be purchased at a time, or additional blocks may be purchased throughout the semester. The purchase of an entire block is required; odd dollar amounts are not allowed.
Block-20 Plan funds will roll over until the last meal is served for the summer semester, at which time any remaining funds in the account will be forfeited.
There are no refunds for cancellations. Dining plans purchased by individuals living off-campus will include tax.

Summer Dining Plan
A dining plan is included for each student who lives in Summer Housing while the dining hall is open. The dining hall is closed during the observed Independence Day Holiday. The Summer Dining Plan offers 14 meals per week (lunch and dinner). Unused meals do not carry over to the following week.
Traditional all-you-care-to-eat meals are available in University Hall Dining Hall. Dining hall options include home-style cooking, a salad bar, grilled sandwiches and more. Students may view online menus or call 453.DINE for the menu phone, beginning in June.
Guest meals may be purchased at the entrance to the dining hall. Block-20 Plans from previous semesters will be honored. Dining plans purchased by individuals living off-campus will include tax.
While a dining plan is not included with WED Short Course student contracts, a Block-20 Plan may be purchased online or individual meals may be purchased at the entrance to University Hall Dining Hall.
