All students living in University housing are required to have a meal plan.

Living where you learn means that eventually, you'll need to eat. With the dining experience at South you'll never have to worry! Click here for USA Dining Locations Map for a map of all campus dining locations.

THE MEALS
The meals portion of each meal plan is available at the Fresh Food Company, South's all-you-care-to-eat dining location. The Fresh Food Company is located on the 2nd floor of the Dining Hall adjacent to the residential communities.

THE BUCKS & THE DOLLARS
Bonus Bucks and Dining Dollars supplement your meal plan and are accepted as payment at all USA Dining Locations. Unused Bonus Bucks roll from fall to spring but expire at the end of the school year. Dining Dollars work just like Bonus Bucks but are added separately and expire after two years of inactivity.

HOW IT WORKS
Once you have a meal plan, your Student ID works like a debit card. Just swipe your card and the amount is deducted each time there is a food service transaction.

First-Year Students (residents with 29 credit hours or less) may select any of the Jag Pass residential meal plans.
Sophomores (residents with credit hours between 30-59) may select any of the Jag Pass residential meal plans OR the 10 meals per week w/$500 Bonus Bucks.
Juniors, Seniors, and Graduates (residents with 60 credit hours or more) may select any of the residential meal plans listed below.

Credit hours must be accepted and approved by the Office of the Registrar.
