Purchasing the Commuter Meal Plan

Students who live in off-campus housing or on-campus apartments and have at least one class scheduled are eligible to purchase the Commuter Meal Plan. The Commuter Meal Plan is available to purchase through eLiving, and the amount for the level purchased will be charged to the student’s LionPATH account. Fall plans can be purchased until December 1; spring plans can be purchased until February 28.

Commuter Meal Plan Account Balances

Remaining funds at the end of the fall semester will carry over to spring semester for use, the student is not required to repurchase a spring plan. Any remaining funds at the end of spring semester expire.

Transfer of the Commuter Meal Plan to Another Student

The Commuter Meal Plan cannot be transferred or assigned to another student. The id+ card is used as the meal access card, and may only be used by the student to whom the card is issued.

Removing Food or Unauthorized Entry into the Dining Commons

When dining in all-you-care-to-eat locations, the only takeout options are one piece of hand fruit (apple, orange, or banana) and one ice cream cone; in retail dining centers, all items must be paid for before consuming or leaving the serving area. Removing additional food or beverages, dishes, or silverware from the dining room; entering the dining commons without paying for the meal; or consuming or removing food without payment from a retail dining center will be considered theft.

Theft in the dining center is a serious issue that will result in disciplinary action by the Office of Residence Life, Office of Student Accountability and Conflict Response (OSACR), and/or University Police.
