The University offers several meal plans that provide students with meals. Students should review the Residence Contract and Dining Services Agreement for specific meal plan requirements and types. Students may also visit http://www.dineoncampus.com/su for more information. After two weeks from the start of classes no changes can be made to your meal plan. Students residing in housing must visit the "Student Life" Tab in the Go Portal and complete the "Meal Plan Change Form" on the "Residential Life" portal to request a meal plan change. A request can only be processed if it meets the meal plan requirement* for your residential area.
