Experience Great Food - Carte Blanche Plans

Carte Blanche Platinum
Our most comprehensive plan features full unlimited access to the dining hall seven days per week during all operating hours. Platinum also offers $25.00 in Thrifty Cash, Ten Grab-n-Go lunch & dinner opportunities and Preferred Pricing for cash meals in the Main Dining Hall. This is an ideal plan for any Resident Student, and is our most popular plan for Freshmen.

It is also a great plan for Upper-class Students living in Mid-rise, because of the convenience of the location of the Main Dining Hall and Cabaret. All Resident Freshmen are enrolled in this plan.

Carte Blanche Gold
The Gold Plan features unlimited dining seven days per week from 10:30am until closing and $50.00 in Thrifty Cash. Gold also offers Preferred Pricing for cash meals in the Main Dining Hall and Ten Grab-n-Go lunch & dinner opportunities. Gold is an excellent plan for any Resident Student and fits the needs of many Upper-class Students living in Mid-Rise, Marian, Gartland Commons and the Foy Town Houses. Residents of Mid-Rise and Marian are enrolled in this plan.

Carte Blanche Silver
The Silver Plan features unlimited dining Monday through Friday from 10:30am until closing and $150.00 in Thrifty Cash. Silver also offers Preferred Pricing for cash meals in the Main Dining Hall and 10 Grab-n-Go lunch passes. The Silver Plan is great for Upperclassmen who often travel on the weekends and for Commuter Students who do not find themselves on campus during the weekends. Access to the Dining Hall for lunch and dinner on weekdays and the benefit and convenience of Thrifty Cash for late night or early morning dining in any retail shop on campus, makes Carte Blanche Silver an ideal plan for students residing in Foy and West Cedar Townhouses, Gartland Commons, Commuters and off-campus students. With the Silver Plan, all of your weekday meals are taken care of and you don't need to worry about leaving campus between classes for lunch or dinner.

Expand Your Tastes

The combination of value, flexibility choice and variety make any one of these plans a great choice for dining on campus. If our Carte Blanche plans aren't exactly what you're looking for, consider these convenient options:

Bronze Plan
The Bronze Plan offers 100 meals to use at anytime in the Dining Hall, $300.00 in Thrifty Cash as well as Preferred Pricing for cash meals in the Dining Hall and two dining passes. Bronze is a great plan for any Upper-class student, a student on internship or a student teacher who wants the convenience and flexibility of Thrifty Cash and the security of five meals per week in the Resident Dining Hall. The Bronze Plan is an excellent selection for those Upper-class students who would like one unlimited meal per week day and enough Thrifty Cash for A la Carte dining the rest of the week. For the convenience, flexibility and value, the Bronze Plan is our most popular off-campus, town house and Commuter plan.

A la Carte Dining Plan
For Resident and Commuter Students who find retail dining convenient, we offer the A la Carte Plan. This plan provides you with a Thrifty Cash account pre-loaded with a balance that works best for you. The A la Carte Plan starts you off with $200.00 in Thrifty Cash to use at any campus dining location. An A la Carte Plan with $500.00 in Thrifty Cash (about $5.00 per day) will save you $41.25 in taxes.

Residents of Gartland, Foy Townhouses, Townhouses H through M, Lower and Upper West Cedar and Fulton Street Townhouses are enrolled in this plan (residents of Gartland are required to participate, at minimum, in the A la Carte $200 Plan).
