Meal Plans
Dining Services works in conjunction with Residence Life and the Campus Card Office to provide access to meal plans for students living in on-campus residence halls.  When a student signs a housing contract, he/she indicates a particular meal plan. Students may choose the plan that best fits their needs. The meal allowance gives a student the opportunity to enjoy all-you-care-to-eat dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the specified dining locations. Each student receives a specified number of guaranteed meals per week each semester, based on the plan selected. Each time a student eats in a dining location one meal is subtracted from his/her weekly meal balance.  Meals that are not used do not carry over from week to week. The Meal Plan Week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday.

Flex Dollars
All Board Meal Plans offer Flex Dollars, which provide students with the ability to purchase from any Loyola University Chicago dining location including the on-campus convenience stores (Center Stage, Connections Cafe, South Side Market, and Union Station) and Water Tower Campus locations (Nina's Cafe, Terry Food Court). Students have the opportunity within the first week of each academic semester to edit their meal plan selection. Students may make changes to their meal plans within the timeframe specified by the Campus Card Office. Please visit http://www.luc.edu/campuscard/forms.shtml for more information and complete instructions. 

The following are the weekly meal plans offered for the 2012-2013 school year:
