Unlike the limited choices at many other schools, we have thirteen different dining halls to serve you. Undergraduate students can eat in any undergraduate hall — no matter which of our meal plans they choose. We purposely designed these plans to give you maximum flexibility at a great price. Use your student ID for access to these dining services.

The costs for the following plans are based on a full semester. If you are an off campus student and want to purchase a plan mid-semester, please check out the Eat at State web page and select the semester in which you wish to purchase a meal plan.

If you don’t know what plan to choose, don’t fret. You can change it any time. Your choices include:

Platinum Plan: Choose the best if you want the most dynamic plan that offers the greatest variety and flexibility. Anytime dining (unlimited access) in the 13 undergraduate hall dining rooms across campus, no limit to the number of times you can entera dining room to eat a complete meal or stop in for a snack during the regular posted hours or use a Grab & Go! location up to once per day. This plan includes eight guest meal passes per semester and $300 per semester in your Spartan Cash Debit Account.

Gold Plan: Anytime dining (unlimited access) in the undergraduate halls means you can grab a snack on your way out, catch a late lunch, pop in for a pop (or do you say soda?) or visit a Grab & Go for a takeout meal on your way to class. $150 in Spartan Cash is included so you can maximize your choices. (Click on plan name for details.)

Silver Plan: Allows you all the access of the Gold Plan, but without the Spartan Cash or guest passes. If you’re choosing this plan because you’d like less Spartan Cash than is available with the Gold Plan, you can add it at www.spartancash.com with a first-time deposit of $50, and any amount thereafter.

Grab & Go!

There may be times when class schedules are so tight that students cannot make it into a dining hall. For these situations we have Grab & Go! options available once per day, available to all students with undergraduate hall dining plans.

• Totally Takeout Express – Located in Brody, Landon, McDonel and Wilson, allows students to grab a lunch on the go consisting of a sub or entrée salad, chips, fruit, cookie and beverage. Open weekdays 9 am - 2 pm.
• Totally Takeout – Located in Shaw Hall in the heart of campus, offers a wider variety of grab and go selections with extended hours weekdays from 9 am - 9 pm.

Select 70 Plan: Off-campus students and those without undergraduate dining plans can select any seventy meals in one semester. (Click on plan name for details.)

Guest Meal Tickets:

• Visitors, faculty/staff and off-campus students can purchase individual meal tickets at the entrance of all undergraduate residence hall dining facilities.
• Discounted ticket packs of ten tickets orders may be purchased at any manager’s office, ordered online or pre-ordered. Pre-orders and online orders must be picked up from the Shaw Hall manager's office. (Click on plan name for details)

Faculty/Staff Dining: Faculty/Staff enjoy the convenience of not loosing their parking space and staying on campus for lunch or grabbing dinner before a late night meeting.

• Blocks of 75 meal passes - 75 accesses, good for any meal in one semester, for faculty and staff only
• Blocks of 50 meal passes - 50 accesses, good for any meal in one semester, for faculty and staff only
• Blocks of 25 meal passes - 25 accesses, good for any meal in one semester, for faculty and staff only

The University picture ID is used for access to the dining room. The Dining Services ticket checker electronically scans the ID to see if the meal is available in the customer’s meal plan.

Please Note:

• Students who select the Silver, Traditional or Prime 15 Plan may also open a Spartan Cash Account for a minimum deposit of $50 in any Hall Manager's Office or at www.spartancash.com or by calling the Spartan Cash line at 517-355-CASH(2274).
• Meal plan changes during the semester will take effect beginning on the Sunday after you make the change since meals are counted during the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday.

Once a Spartan Cash Account is opened by selecting the Platinum Plan or the Gold Plan, the funds in the Spartan Cash Account are subject to the terms and conditions for a Spartan Cash Account. A refund of these funds is not made if you change your meal plan.
