Dining Plan Facts

Changing Your Dining Plan

If you find that the dining plan you selected is not working for your schedule or eating habits you may go to the Zip Card Office at any time during first 4 weeks of the semester and have it changed. Any changes after the first 4 weeks can ONLY be upgrades. Dining plan changes are updated on a weekly basis.

Canceling Your Dining Plan

If you are in the Residence Hall you may NOT cancel your dining plan. The only way your dining plan may be canceled is if you move out of housing.

When you cancel your housing contract your dining plan is automatically canceled with it.

You may not continue to use your dining plan once you have moved out of the Residence Hall.

If you move out of housing and wish to keep your dining plan you must go to the Zip Card Office and pay the balance of the dining plan for the remainder of the semester.
