DINING HALL GUESTS DURING MOVE IN
Students are welcome to admit guests into the dining hall if they have points or flex passes on their meal plan.
Husky Bucks can also be used as a form of payment for guests.
Guests are also welcome to come to the dining hall on their own & pay the guest price.
Did you pick a residential meal plan for a dorm/suite, but now you will be in an on/off-campus apartment?
Meal plans are not required in on/off campus apartments, therefore, your meal plan for the dorm/suite was cancelled.
If you are still in need of a meal plan option, please review our meal plan page for students in on-campus apartments/off campus.
