Meal Plans and Parking

  • Our university's flexible student meal plans include access to a range of campus dining options. All students living on campus are automatically assigned a standard meal plan according to where they live but will also have the opportunity to upgrade their plan. Learn more about meal plan options here.
  • Residents who wish to bring their car to campus will need to purchase a parking permit. Please visit the Parking Office webpage for more information.
