Meal Plan Options

How meal plans work

You will use your meal plan credits at Bon Appétit's dining facilities on campus, The Hilltop Café or Zamora's Market. The number of meals available in your plan is the total credits for each week from Friday morning through Thursday evening. You can use your meal credits for any combination of meals during the week, but your weekly credits expire every Thursday night and do not "roll over" to the next week.

For example, a student who chooses the 14 meals per week option is able to eat any 14 meals during that week and is not limited to 2 meals per day.
