Rates for housing and meals below are for the 2022-2023 academic year. Rates for the 2023-2024 academic year will be posted after being approved by the Board of Governors in 2023.
University Housing Rates
There are several factors in determining the cost of housing and meals:
- Choice of building and room style
- If the building is open over Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break
- Choice of meal plan (meals per week)
- Choice of Dining Dollars package (declining dollar balance)
The housing contract is for both fall and spring semesters. Rates include a residence hall association activity fee of $12 per semester, or $24 per academic year.
Purchasing both a meal plan and Dining Dollars package is required when living in community style or suite style housing. (Meal plans are optional for students living in Sunvilla or Monroe.)

Meal plan options
Meal plans are used at any of our three dining centers: Blair-Shannon, Garst, and Heitz. Each time a student visits a dining center a meal is deducted from their weekly balance using their BearPass ID. The weekly balance resets Monday morning before breakfast. Meal plans can be raised or lowered during the first three weeks of each semester. After the third week, meal plans can only be increased until the start of the next semester.
| Meal plan | Semester | Yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited meal/week | $1,401 | $2,802 |
| 19-Meals/week | $1,309 | $2,618 |
| 14-Meals/week | $1,286 | $2,572 |
| 10-Meals/week | $1,269 | $2,538 |
Dining Dollars options
Dining Dollars are a dollar for dollar declining balance plan, similar to a debit account and are loaded onto the student's BearPass ID. Each time a purchase is made, those dollars are subtracted from the balance. Dining Dollars are accepted at any dining location on campus and carry over from summer to fall and from fall to spring. Students also earn bonus dollars depending on the tier of Dining Dollars that are selected.
| Price | Bonus | Total Value |
|---|---|---|
| $296 | $29 | $325 |
| $228 | $22 | $250 |
| $182 | $18 | $200 |
