Campus dining meal plans

We provide fresh and flexible meal plans for all Fort Lewis College students, staff, and faculty. Unless otherwise listed, all meal plans are billed per academic semester. Campus dining locations are limited for the summer semester.

Changing your meal plan

Students are automatically signed up for the 19-meal plan when they sign their housing contract.

You can change your meal plan each semester until the Census Date. After the Census Date, you can only upgrade your meal plan, not reduce it.

Residents make changes through the housing portal
Off-campus students can make plan changes through Sodexo

These plans cover all-you-care-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner at the San Juan Dining Hall, and lunch at the Rocket Grill. Dining Dollars are provided each semester and can be used at all other Campus Dining locations.
