Seattle University believes living and interacting with others outside of the classroom enhances the education of the whole person. On-campus dining offers a great opportunity to serve this purpose. On-campus dining fosters a more vibrant, tight-knit community. It provides opportunities for students to develop close and supportive relationships, meet new people, and interact with faculty and staff in a non-classroom setting. In addition, on-campus dining promotes healthy and informed dietary habits.
Current students will be about to sign-up for their meal plan through the Housing Portal, under the "Requests" tab. Faculty and staff will be able to sign-up for their meal through Dine on Campus, under the "Meal Plan" tab.
Seattle University’s meal plans provide quality, variety, flexibility and value. Items are priced à la carte so students can choose exactly what they want. A meal plan is required for all first and second year residents living in on-campus or affiliate housing. There are 3 different meal plans for first and second year students are Maximum, Expanded, and Residential. The meal plan you select for Fall quarter will be automatically renewed each quarter unless it is changed within the first 10 class days of each quarter through the MyHousing Portal.
Ideally, the meal plan you chose will be depleted by the end of the quarter. If you have money left on your meal plan at the end of the quarter, a limited amount can go into your Rollover MP account from quarter to quarter during the academic year, to be used with your meal plan for subsequent quarters.
The university offers a wide variety of dining venues, menus, hours of operation, and meal plans. Redhawk Dining offers nutritional information and guidance, vegan and vegetarian selections, local and organic options, as well as, special assistance with medically prescribed diets.
Meal plan changes may be made during the first ten business days of every quarter with the online Meal Plan Change Request form through the Housing Portal. Meal Plan Changes are any change of a meal plan within the policy outlined above (see below for meal plan changes outside of the policy).
Meal Plan Exemptions are any changes to a meal plan outside of the policy outlined above. The university recognizes four circumstances when exemptions may be possible:
Meal plan changes and exemptions available through the Housing Portal, be sure to include a complete description of your reasoning.
Although living in the apartments allows students to have more freedom in cooking for themselves it is not a reason a first or second year student may be exempted from the meal plan requirement.
You will be able to find all Dining hours and locations on the Dine on Campus website.
