Meal Plans Give You a Taste of Fisher

This year, the University has rolled out new meal plans for the entire campus community. The new Ultimate Meal Plan is…the ultimate campus plan!  The plan includes 350 swipes, $100 in dining dollars, and 5 guest passes.  With three or four meals per day, the Ultimate Plan can be used to eat at all dining locations as well as Dining Dollar snack and beverage purchases. The Ultimate Plan is available to all students.

Commuters have an additional option this year and can experience a taste of Fisher Dining with the Small Commuter Plan specifically designed for them, providing 35 meal swipes and $50 Dining Dollars.

Graduate students can also purchase any of the student meal plans, too!

All students can add a meal plan online until 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 11, and the plan will be active within an hour of purchase.

Fisher employees can now also sign up for a meal plan that includes 30 meal swipes that can be used at Ward-Haffey Dining Hall, SONO, or Fisher Sub Shoppe (located in Murphy Hall). Employees can sign up for the plan at any time through the Dine on Campus website, and the plan will be added directly to their Fisher ID within 24 business hours.
