Housing and Residential Life works very closely with our campus dining vendor, Sodexho, Inc. to ensure that our residents have the best possible dining experience. Whether it is taking a trip around the world through themed dinner nights, tasting some down-home family recipes, or eating that traditional mouth watering burger, we guarantee that you’ll find something you like.
Culinary options ranging from fresh and healthy to traditional comfort foods are available through both the main campus dining hall and the Village Cafe. In addition, those with medically required special diets need not fear as appropriate meals will be prepared when prescribed and approved in writing by a medical doctor. By becoming a member of the Village family you are not only on the fast track to academic success, you get to take advantage of a wide variety of meal choices and cooking is optional!
Meal Plans
Campus Dining Services offers residents several meal plan options. Upperclass residents residing in general apartments are required to have the Apartment Resident Declining Balance Plan.
Meal Plans are based on a daily rate times the number of board days within the selected contract ( DR x # of Board Days=Meal Plan Allocation)

Warrior Card
Meal plans are administered through your Warrior Card, which functions both as a university ID and as a declining dollar card. Meal plan dollars are assigned on an annual basis and are allocated by semester.
How Do I Add Money to My Card?
Students who wish to add additional dollars to their card or learn more about the uses of their Warrior Card may do so by visiting the Warrior Card website at http://www.warriorcard.com. The dollars you add can be used in the Bookstore, dining, etc. (these are distinct from meal plan dollars).
Where Can I Spend My Meal Plan Money?
That’s simple. During the business hours of any Campus Dining Facility, including:
- Main Dining
- Pop’s Convenience Store
- Village Café
- Mom’s Coffee House (Peet’s Coffee & Tea served)
- MSR Coffee Stand (Starbuck’s coffee served)
Unused meal plan balances will roll forward from one semester to the next, but must be used during the academic year for which they are purchased; Fall 2008 through Spring 2009. Meal plan funds must be expended the last day of the contract period. Funds not expended are forfeit to Campus Dining.
