Meal Plans

All students living on campus are required to
purchase a meal plan each semester. Students can select from one of the four meal plan choices listed at right. The dining dollars can be used for coffee and other grab and go items. All meals in Rimrock Café are set up as all-you-care-to-eat and allow students to select from a variety of food options. Please note that meals must be used within each week. Dining dollars will carry from Fall semester to Spring, but will need to be used by the end of the Spring semester.  City College students that live in the residence halls can  utilize their board meals for lunch at City College.

Although it is not an all-you-care-to-eat option, students can select from a variety of meal options during the lunch hour and utilize their meal plan rather than paying cash or using dining dollars. Please note that meals must be used within each week. Dining dollars will carry from Fall semester to Spring, but will need to be used by the end of the Spring semester.

Meal plans can be changed for the semester only through the first week and a half of the semester. Meal plans can only be changed once per semester.
