FIRST-YEAR STUDENT MEAL PLANS

If you are an incoming first-year student at NDSU, this information is for you!

Unlimited Access Plans

Unlimited access meal plans allow students to pop into any of our three dining centers as many times as they want. With an Unlimited Plan, students do not have to keep track of meal swipes and enjoy the flexibility to grab snacks, meals or coffee anytime they want from 7am to 11pm. First-year students must select one of the unlimited plans for their first year living on campus. 

Seven-day Meal Plan (best value) - $2,582.50/semester

Unlimited access Monday – Sunday
7 guest passes | 3 to-go meals per day (one per meal period)

Five-day Meal Plan - $2,300.00/semester

Unlimited access Monday – Friday
3 guest passes | 3 to-go meals per day (one per meal period)

Need help deciding between the five- and seven-day plans? The five-day plan is only recommended for students who plan to leave campus every weekend. The seven-day plan is only $16 more per week, meaning you get unlimited access to the dining centers all weekend for only $16! Plus, it comes with an additional four guest passes.
