Step 1

Estimate your daily food expenditures using the example meal choice list provided. Select the checkbox beside each item that you would regularly eat.

Once you have completed your selection, please scroll down the page to continue calculating your expected Dining Plan expenditure.

When selecting a dining plan size, please consider the following:

• How many days do you estimate that you will be in Residence? (5 days, 7days, holidays, March break...)
• Do you have a moderate appetite 2-3 meals per day plus light snacks?
• Do you have a moderate to heavy appetite 3-4 meals per day plus snacks?
• Are you able to access monies to add to your Dining Plan if your eating habits change and your funds are low?
• You may want to budget funds for between meal snacks or late night snacks.

Step 2

In the appropriate field, enter the total number of days you expect to be on campus during the academic year. Determine whether you will be living on campus during weekends or holidays. There are a total of 217 days in the Dining Plan Contract.

Although the number of days may vary between 149 – 217, to assist in determining the number of days you will be at the residence, please see the following information.

If you are:

1. In Res 7 days per week but are away from Res during Christmas and March break: 217 days
2. In Res 5 days per week but are away from Res for weekends, Christmas and March break: 149 days
