Meal Plans for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027
Our meal plans are flexible so you can get the most out of them. With the exception of the Commuter 300 Plan, there are two parts to each meal plan. The Meal Allowance represents the meal swipes you have available each semester with your meal plan (these all-you-care-to-eat meals are consumed at the Mane Dish). Cub Cash is declining balance dollars and supplements the weekly meal allowance to be used at all campus food service locations.
Once you have your meal plan, your student ID works like a debit card. Just swipe your card, and the meal charge is deducted from your account.
