    Plan Info For:

    Students in Traditional Residential Housing – Dorms & Suites

    One of the three Residential Meal Plans below is required for students living in on-campus dorms or suites. Husky Village is considered part of traditional residential housing, and students living there are required to have a meal plan. Students in on-campus apartments are NOT required to have a meal plan, but do have Dining meal plan options if they wish to voluntarily purchase. See the additional section on this webpage for on/off-campus apartments.

    • CHOOSING YOUR MEAL PLAN: If you are/will be living in a dorm or suite, you have the opportunity to pick your meal plan when filling out the housing form with Campus Housing. If you didn't pick a plan, you will likely be assigned the value plan. 
    • PAYING FOR YOUR PLAN: Meal plans are billed per semester. All meal plan charges are applied directly to the student fee bill.
