Meal Plan Rates
Welcome!
You've got enough to focus on around campus: classes, studying, work, and extracurricular activities. You shouldn't have to plan your meals as well. A meal plan allows you to gather with your friends, grab a quick bite, and have a well-balanced meal.
Resident meal plans may be purchased via the Housing Portal on Trailhead.
Voluntary meal plans may be purchased through the Blastercard Office.
Note: Meals are for the cardholder only. Munch Money may be used to pay for a guest at Mines Market.
