Residence Hall Meal Plans

Meal plans are purchased per semester in conjunction with Room & Board rates. Three different meal plans are offered: Any 10, 14, or 21 meals per week. The week begins on Saturday morning and ends Friday night, and meals do not roll over. Each meal plan includes:

• Access to all 5 dining centers and 2 Express locations (How can I use my meal plan at the express locations?)
• To-go meals (How do my to-go meals work?)
• 20 bonus meals to be used when you run low on weekly meals swipes and to eat with your friends and family members
• $150 RamCash each semester
• Two week grace period at the beginning of each semester to decrease meal plans

An additional meal plan, the U Plan, is available for upperclass students only who choose to live on campus after their first year. This flexible plan includes 5 meals per week and includes all standard Residence Hall Meal Plan inclusions listed above.

The Any 21 meal plan can be increased to the Any 21 Upgrade plan (up to 12 meals a day) for an additional $340 per semester.

Purchase Meals and RamCash

Parents and legal guardians are welcome to eat with their residence hall student twice every two weeks at any of our dining centers for free (available during Fall and Spring semesters). To be admitted, parents or guardians need to be accompanied by their student and introduced to the meal checker.

*CSU Apartments & off-campus plans: Swipe meal card multiple times for guests.

Guests, in addition to parents/guardians, are always welcome to dine with us. CSU meal plan holders can use meal plan swipes to bring guests in to eat**. If your CSU member does not have a meal plan, or if you are not affiliated with a CSU meal plan holder, you must purchase a meal at the door price (posted at dining centers and subject to change). Children between the ages of 5-10 qualify for child price. Children 0-4 eat free.

** Residence hall meal plans include regular weekly meal plan swipes, and 20 bonus meals. Regular weekly meal plan swipes are non-transferable in part or full, so a bonus meal must be used for any guests.

Credit cards or RamCash at the door is accepted in all locations.
