Meal Plan Options

All students living in traditional housing (Beckman, Binz, and Rohlman) are required to have a meal plan. The meal contract entitles students to meals when classes are in session. Duhawk Dollars cannot be used during periods when the college is closed. The plans are not transferable from one student to another, and any meals not eaten at the end of the semester are not transferable and are nonrefundable. First and second-year students are required to participate in either Dewey’s Daily Meal Plan or Dewey’s Dining Plan.

All meal plans will automatically be reassigned for the spring semester unless the residence life office is notified of the meal plan change application via Loras Residence Symplicity. Meal plans cannot be changed after the first Friday of the term during the fall and spring semesters. Meal plans are available for use on campus during the times that May Term classes are in session at no additional cost.
