FLEXIBLE DINING PLANS

Dining plans come in many convenient shapes and sizes.  A magnetic stripe on the back of your Cougar 1Card identifies you as a dining plan member. We have many locations on campus open anytime between 7:00am-10:00pm.  Grab a hot breakfast before going to class, catch up on emails while enjoying your coffee, or munch on an afternoon snack. A Dining Plan makes it easy to connect, refuel, and save time.  By combining a “Weekly Meal Allowance” or “Block Plans” with “Cougar Cash”, you can customize a plan that’s right for you.

Weekly Meal Plans

Semester Meal Allowance (Block Plan)
