How do I sign up for a meal plan?

If you are a "required first year student" (you graduated from high school in the previous academic year that you started college), then you will find your meal plan options included in the housing application.

If you are not a required first year student, you have the option to purchase a meal plan every semester (Fall and Spring). Meal plans are available online under the Residence Life link on SamWeb. After you sign up for a meal plan, it will be added to your account, and you can then pay accordingly.
