Students living on-campus, in one of our residence halls, select a meal plan while completing the on-campus housing application. We want you to experience our dining options before moving to campus, so we recommend you plan ahead & decide what dining experience you would like to have while attending Admitted Student Day.

Purchase Meal Cards

Admitted Student Day is a great time to experience our campus-wide dining options. We recommend you pre-purchase your meal card at check-in. A meal card will provide you with one "all you care to eat" meal in one of our dining halls or an Entree and a select number of Sides at one of our Grab-n-Go dining locations. 

If you have been invited to attend a special luncheon during Admitted Student Day, lunch will be provided and a meal card is not required.
