Block Meal Plans
Our block plans include a set number of meals, or swipes, ranging from 30 to 150 meals per semester. Each time you visit Northsider, The View or Cornerstone Kitchen, you'll use one meal swipe from your plan. You have the entire semester to use your meal plan.
Meal swipes are only for use by the student. All meal plans, except the Block 70, include guest meals, which can be used by friends, family, or the student themselves at any time throughout the semester.
Each plan, except the Early Move-In meal plan, also comes with dining dollars that can be used to purchase food or beverages in any on-campus dining venue, including our retail locations, coffee shops, and convenience stores.
