Resident Meal Plans
NOTE: We have changed the names of our meal plans. “Full Week” (Sun.-Fri.) plans are now called “Eagle,” and the “Weekday” (Mon.-Fri.) plans are now called “Scrappy.” Both still offer the same great values and wholesome dining options.
Most students living in residence halls are required to have a traditional Scrappy or Eagle meal plan (view details), both of which allow you to take advantage of our popular all-you-care-to-eat open dining policy. These high value plans allow you to visit any dining hall at any time as often as you wish. Most are open Monday to Friday with Sunday service at Kerr Hall.
If there are questions regarding the purchase of a meal plan, please contact our main office at 940-565-2462.
How did we figure price per meal?
Here is an example using the Eagle Basic Plan:
The best deal is the Eagle Value plan. How much value? Well that depends on how often and how much you eat. There are three traditional meal periods (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) in a day. Our experience shows students can eat several more times in a day. Our cafeterias serve continuously and students may eat as much as they want as often as they want — there are no limits!
If you only eat three meals per day, then your average cost per meal is $3.95. If you eat a fourth meal, then your average cost drops to $2.96. If you eat five meals per day, then… well, you get the picture. This is the “don’t ever worry about food” plan delivered at a great value.
The Scrappy plans are also a good value; however they do not cover weekends or have a greater FLEX option. There is a price difference of only $145 between the two plans. If you absolutely intend to spend every weekend off campus, then the Scrappy plan (Monday-Friday) is for you. However, if you stay on campus only one weekend per month, an Eagle plan (Sunday-Friday) is the best value.
Students living in residence halls are required to have a Scrappy or Eagle meal plan, both of which allow you to take advantage of our popular all-you-care-to-eat open dining policy. This program allows you to visit any dining hall at any time as often as you wish when they are open. Please check for Dining Hall Spring 2016 Hours located on the Dining Hall location sites.

DP X-Combo - Students on this plan exchange FLEX dollars for 1 daily combo meal at Discovery Park. The daily combo meal is the student's choice of 1 Grill Sandwich or 1 Deli Sandwich or 1 Entree. The daily combo also includes the student's choice of 1 side item and a fountain beverage.
Students who have classes at Discovery Park can purchase a Discovery Park meal plan. This meal plan needs to be purchased or converted (prior to the 2nd Friday after the semester starts) in the Dining Services office (Crumley Hall #132). Proof of Discovery Park class must be presented at time of purchase or conversion.
Most conversion Discovery Park meal plans change the traditional meal plan to a block plan with Disco Dollars and FLEX. Disco Dollars work like FLEX, but can only be utilized at the retail dining options in Discovery Park. The FLEX can be used at any campus retail dining location. The DP-Combo meal plan continues the unlimited Dining Hall meals and converts the FLEX dollars into a DP-Combo meal per day option.
