Meal Plans and Food Service Options

The on-campus dining program has been designed with flexibility to meet the unique needs of each student. The housing contract cost is for room and meal plan.

The Willamette Meal Plan consists of "all you can eat" meals (dinners Sunday through Friday and brunch on Saturday) and Meal Plan Points for use on an "a la carte" basis (breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday, dinner Saturday and brunch on Sunday). The University operates a comprehensive food program available with a choice of five Meal Plan Point choices for the "a la carte" meals. These options allow you to select the meal plan best tailored to your needs.

Choose a meal plan on your housing contract for the 2007-2008 academic year. Meal Plan Points are honored at Goudy Commons, Cat Cavern and Montag Convenience Store. Points carry over from fall to spring semester if you remain an on-campus resident (sororities, Haseldorf, University Apartments and students going abroad excluded). Points remaining at the completion of spring semester are
non-refundable. No credit or refund is issued for "all you can eat" meals not taken.

Changing Your Meal Plan

If you want to change your Meal Plan, changes are accepted during the first two weeks of fall and spring semester. Forms are available on-line by accessing your Jason Account (Joint Academic/Administrative System), emailing housing@willamette.edu or available in the Residential Services Office during the meal plan change period.
