Plan Options
From lattes and ice cream to chicken bowls or chicken grillas, your meal plan can be used at any of the Sodexo retail locations on campus. You can even use it to purchase canned goods and laundry detergent at Penmen Place. It is a declining balance plan, which means you will only be charged the price of what you purchase, rather than blocks of meals per day. The meal plan works like a debit card from your student ID. You can check your remaining balance online or at the register during your purchase. For questions about your meal plan, please call (603) 645-9710.
