The Student Union Food Court serves 21 meals per week cafeteria style, unless other wise posted.  Students living on campus may select a 21 or 15 meal plan we also offer busy seniors the option of a 10 meal plan.  The 21 meal plan is required for all resident first-year students. Students on any of these meal programs may pay cash for additional meals. “Unlimited seconds” are provided at every meal, with the exception of premium entree meals, and only one entree will be served at a time. Meal plans are nontransferable. Absenteeism is taken into consideration when board costs are computed, if students were charged for 21 meals a week, the cost would be much higher.

Commuter students may purchase a 5, 10 or 15 commuter meal plan to be added to your bill, please ask about this option at the Residence Life office. All students may purchase declining balance dollars or Koala Bucks to be put on their ID card anytime the Food Court is open. Koala Bucks may be purchased in $20.00 increments.  Koala Bucks are a declining balance or debit that is added to your ID and may be used at any campus food facility.
