Residential Meal Plans

When signing up, select a meal plan based on your academic schedule, eating patterns, and social life. Keep in mind that there can be up to six flexible meal time periods per day.

Residential students who do not actively select a meal plan and are required to have one will be assigned the 38 Plan by default. This can be changed during the first two weeks of the semester.

Please Note: The 2025/2026 Academic Year will include changes to the Meal Plans. Check back  for more information in the coming weeks.

Traditional Meal Plans

(15 meals per week and 38 meal plan)

All incoming first-year residential students are required to maintain the 15 meals per week or 38 meal plan for the Fall and Spring semesters regardless of residence hall assignment.

These meal plans allow you to enjoy up to a specified number of guaranteed meals each week during the semester you select it. Meals do not carry over from week to week; they "reset" at the end of each week.

Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars are accepted like cash in all of our dining locations. Dining Dollars work on the same principle as a debit card. You can use your Dining Dollars to purchase beverages, snacks, or even a full meal at any of our dining facilities. Each time you make a purchase, the purchase amount is subtracted from your Dining Dollar balance.

Dining Dollars do NOT carry over from semester to semester. However, Pacer Points can be purchased and added to your account at any time and they carry over until they have been exhausted. Please note that the Pacer Points would be in addition to any Dining Dollars that accompany your meal plan.

Changing Meal Plans

Residential students have up until the end of the second week of classes each semester to change their assigned meal plan. Residential students must send an email from their Marywood email address to reslife@marywood.edu with their name, student ID #, current meal plan, and desired eligible meal plan in order to change their meal plan. The student will be notified via email once the desired eligible change has been made.
