Meal Plans

A meal plan offers access to any of the three Resident Dining Halls, where the format is "all-you-care-to-eat." Flex Points and Munch Money are other forms of payment you can use at the Dining Halls or any of the Cafés & Markets on campus. Wherever you choose to eat, University Dining Services offers nourishing food, time-saving convenience, flexibility, and a good value.

How do I pick the plan that's right for me?

When you choose to live in a Residence Hall, your meal plan will be included as part of the room and board package. Meal plans vary, so you can choose the plan that best suits your particular needs. Each meal plan was designed with different lifestyles and eating habits in mind. For the current academic year, University Dining Services offers you the choice of six meal plans.

Platinum meal plan:

Unlimited access to Resident Dining facilities during all meal hours, $170 worth of Flex Points per academic quarter, and 10 Guest Meals per academic quarter.

Gold meal plan:

Unlimited access to Resident Dining facilities during all meal hours, $45 worth of Flex Points per academic quarter, and 10 Guest Meals per academic quarter.

Silver meal plan:

Unlimited access for meal hours after 11:00 am at Resident Dining facilities, $50 worth of Flex Points per academic quarter, and 5 Guest Meals per academic quarter.

Bronze meal plan:

Any 75 meals per quarter at any Resident Dining facility 7 days a week, and $150 in Flex Points per quarter. Participants may use any of the 75 meals per quarter as a Guest Meal.

15-meal plan:

Any 15 meals per week at any Resident Dining facility, and 5 Guest Meals per academic quarter. This meal plan does not contain Flex Points.

10-meal plan:

Any 10 meals per week at any Resident Dining facility, 7 days a week. This meal plan does not include Guest Meals or Flex Points.

Flex points

Flex Points are included with some meal plans, but are not sold individually. Each time a student pays with Flex Points, their balance will decline. One Flex Point is equal to one dollar. Flex Points may be used in any on-campus Dining location. Flex Points expire at the end of each quarter and are non-refundable.

Munch Money

A new Munch Money program debuted August 1, enabling all customers to receive 18.4% off at the register when paying with Munch Money instead of cash.

What's the difference between Munch Money and Flex Points?

Flex Points are only available as part of certain meal plans. Munch Money may be purchased separately from a meal plan by any student, faculty, or staff at WWU. Munch Money carries over from one academic quarter to the next, while Flex Points expire at the end of each quarter.
