Dining Options for Residents
All students living in a residence hall on campus are required to purchase a meal plan. Resident Life recommends incoming first year students purchase the 19 Meals per Week plan for their first semester. Students can add additional Flex Dollars to their account at any time in increments of $25.
19 Meals per Week and $100 Flex Dollars
This plan offers students the greatest value. Students can enjoy all 19 meals offered in Capital Commons each week. This plan is also supplemented with $100 in Flex Dollars per semester to be used for snacks, beverages, and more in the Capital Commons and The Bistro.
15 Meals per Week and $100 Flex Dollars
This plan is designed for students who are not on campus on the weekends. Students can enjoy up to 15 meals per week at Capital Commons. This plan is also supplemented with $100 in Flex Dollars per semester to be used for snacks, beverages, and more at Capital Commons and The Bistro.
Meal plan costs are available on our Tuition Rates webpage under Residence Costs.
Block Meal Plans offer students the most flexibility, as the amount of meals can be used throughout the semester in any manner. Students can use their block meals at our Capital Commons cafeteria. Unlike the traditional meals per week plans available to resident students, meals on our block plans carry over from week to week. Students do not have to worry about losing their meals each week if they do not use them. Block Meal Plans come in the following options:
Block Plan | Rate | Free Flex | CPM |
10 Block | $147.73 | $50 | $9.77 |
25 Block | $306.35 | $75 | $9.25 |
50 Block | $538.94 | $100 | $8.77 |
Flex Dollars are accepted like cash in all our dining locations. Flex Dollars work in the same way as a debit card. Students can use their Flex to purchase beverages or made-to-order meals at Lynx Deli, snacks at the Micro Mart, or a full meal in the Capital Commons cafeteria. Each time a purchase is made, the purchase amount is subtracted from the Flex Dollars balance. Flex Dollars carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year. Additional Flex Dollars can be added to student accounts at any time in increments of $25.
Unused Flex Dollars carry over from Fall to Spring semester. Unused block meals will not carry over. At the end of the Spring semester, all unused Flex Dollars are nonrefundable and will not carry over to the following school year. Students should select a meal plan according to their expected spending habits. Students can purchase additional meals and Flex Dollars at any time by contacting Elior Collegiate Dining Services.
You can pay at the door for meals in the Capital Commons cafeteria.
- Breakfast $8.52
- Lunch $9.75
- Dinner $10.97
Block meals and flex plans are not taxed, and when you buy through Dining Services directly, you’ll receive additional “free flex” dollars. Plans remain active for the entire academic year.
Block Plan | Rate | Free Flex | CPM |
10 Block | $147.73 | $55 | $9.27 |
25 Block | $306.35 | $85 | $8.85 |
50 Block | $538.94 | $120 | $8.37 |
To get the additional free flex, faculty/staff must purchase through the Director of Dining Services directly.
