Meal Plans
College Auxiliary Services (CAS) is proud to provide comprehensive dining options through several different meal plans to meet your needs.
Meal Plans for Students, Faculty & Staff
Dining services are an important part of your college experience and a great way to meet new friends. Studies show that students who take advantage of on-campus living/dining are more involved, earn higher grades and are more likely to graduate. CAS is committed to providing the best options to support your educational journey. Through our partnership with Chartwells, our food service provider, we will ensure that you have affordable, healthy and delicious meals on campus.
What are the benefits to on-campus dining?
- Value — Your average meal on campus costs $3–$5 less than a meal from a local fast-casual restaurant, like Panera or Wendy’s.
- Convenience — Not only is it more affordable, but you don’t have to go far! Walk, bike or teleport to your dining facility of choice. You can also order online and pick up your meal while you’re on the go.
- Tax-Free — Purchases made with your meal plan are tax-free! Just another way to save money through your plan.
- Sustainable — We offer zero-sort recycling and both pre-and-post-waste composting in all of our dining facilities. We are also moving towards a zero-plastics program over the next three years.
- Focused on Wellness — We offer healthy, locally-sourced food made fresh by our talented staff. Enjoy vegan, vegetarian and allergen-friendly options throughout campus.
- Exciting Events — Enjoy access to fun social events like our Spring Carnival, teaching kitchens and more!
