Description
1. At Northwestern University, all University housing residents must have a meal plan while living on campus. Although there are various meal plans to choose from, incoming students (freshmen and transfers) who have electronically signed their University Housing & Food Service Contracts are automatically assigned the WildCat Weekly 14 meal plan.
Policies and Procedures
- Students may stay in a dining hall throughout an entire meal period. However, one may not leave and re-enter that or any other dining hall during the same meal period except under the Unlimited meal plan.
- A "meal" is designated by each time a student uses his/her Wildcard to enter the dining hall.
- Cash and Credit Card purchases are charged taxes for students, faculty, staff and guests.
Meal Plan Options
There are five meal periods offered in the dining halls:
- Breakfast and Lunch are offered Monday through Saturday.
- Dinner is offered everyday.
- Brunch is offered only on Sunday.
- Late-Night is offered Monday through Thursday at Foster-Walker, Hinman, and Sargent Halls.
Change Your Meal Plan
Students may only change their meal plans once each quarter. When changing a meal plan, please note:
“...there may be changes that occur in the billing of your meal plan when charges are prorated. Charges are prorated differently for each type of meal plan. For this reason, changing from one type of meal plan to another, despite the same quarterly/yearly price, may result in additional charges.”
