Fall 2009 Meal Plans

The three meal plan options listed below have been designed for students living on campus.

Graduate students, faculty, staff, and commuters may also choose one of the three plans OR they may choose the Community Plan or a Declining Balance Account (the Cash Account). These plans allow for access to all dining units and for those with points, to most retail operations. Husky Bucks may also be purchased. Read on to learn more.

Rightsizing Your Meal Plan

Please choose the meal plan which you believe most closely reflects your eating habits and how many meals you will eat during the semester. Please buy conservatively. If you run out of meals toward the end of the semester, you may purchase additional meals through our community plan. If you have purchased a plan that doesn't work for you, you have until Friday, September 18, 2009 to change your meal plan for the FALL 2009 semester. Call (860) 486-3128 for more information.
