Northwest offers meal plans for students both on and off campus. All on campus students must have a meal contract. All of the current meal plans give you the freedom to eat at any of the dining facilities on campus.

Budgeting

Declining balance dollars give you the flexibility that traditional meal plans cannot offer. However, with this flexibility comes responsibility. It is your responsibility to budget your meal plan. Still, we are here to help. Your DB dollars will be put into your account in four equal installments throughout the trimester. In addition, current balance information can be obtained from any Campus Dining cashier or in the ID Office. Use your account balance to measure how well you are budgeting by comparing it to the flyers posted in all Campus Dining locations. These flyers contain information on the approximate balance you should have on your card at different points throughout the trimester.

Guests and Visitors

Guests/visitors may eat in any of the dining areas by paying cash. Additionally, students on the
Aladine and inclining plans can charge guests' meals to their accounts. However, the student must be present for these charges to occur.

Pizza Delivery

Campus Dining is also proud of its continuing partnership with the local Domino's Pizza and Pizza Hut establishments. Your meal plan dollars can be used to order food for delivery from these establishments.

Special Diets

Students requiring special diets should contact the dietician (562-1252) to make arrangements. It has been found that most special needs can be met after appropriate consultation. Weight loss programs and commercial diets (i.e., Weight Watchers) are not reasons to cancel a meal plan. Please consult with the dietician about weight loss programs.
