You must be a registered student to use the dining portal. If you are getting an error but just recently registered, check back in an hour or so to see if you can access the portal. It shouldn't take much time to sync systems, but it might require an overnight reset.
Once you login using the "Student & Staff Login" button, you'll be able to Manage Your Meal Plan. Please remember this is an "opt in" system. You do not need to "opt out" if you are eligible to not carry a meal plan. Our system will show you what meal plans you're eligible for based on your housing location, your age, and your total earned credits -- so you won't be automatically assigned a meal plan unless you're required to carry one.
Fall 2025: The dining portal will be open for you to choose (or adjust) your Fall 2025 meal plan at 10am on Tuesday, July 29. (Students will begin to see dining charges on their bill after the nightly processes run, starting the night of July 31.) If you need meals because you're moving on campus early, we will have Early Arrival Meal Plan options available in the portal at 10am on Friday, August 8. Early Arrival Meal Plans are good August 15 - 19 only. There are no refunds for unused balances. Fall meal plans are valid Wednesday, August 20 - Friday, December 12. Please remember that all contract changes must be made by 5pm on the Drop Deadline of each semester (Fall 2025 = Monday, September 8). No change requests will be made after this time/date.
Spring 2026: The dining portal will be open for you to choose (or adjust) your Spring 2026 meal plan at the end of November. If you live in a residence hall but see Off Campus Meal Plan options listed, that's mostly likely because the system hasn't updated properly yet. If you choose a meal plan you're not eligible for, it will get changed to the correct one in January. Spring meal plans are valid January 10 - May 8. Please remember that all contract changes must be made by 5pm on the Drop Deadline of each semester (Spring 2026 = Monday, January 26). No change requests will be made after this time/date.
Reminder: Meal plans expire each semester, but Dining Dollars balances will carry over from Fall to Spring. All balances will expire at the end of finals week in Spring.
