Internal 91ÇàÇà²Ý Department Group Meals

• How to Purchase Group Meals:

• Department Meal Plan

This method is highly recommended for convenience, as well as optimal cost savings. Choose one (1) or more Department Meal Plan(s) and we will load them onto a Meal Plan card for anyone in your department to use at any time. Whether your department is purchasing a Meal Plan for a large visit or using it over the course of the semester for smaller visits, additional Meal Plan entries can be requested at any point during the semester. Unused Meal Plan entries will carry over from semester to semester and will not expire.

*Pre-tax rates

Pricing may change every academic year.

Instructions on how to use the Department Meal Plan can be found on the request form. To request a Meal Plan card and pay by invoice, please fill out the form below. A dining representative will then reach out to you with more information.
