Never Miss a Meal

No need to skip breakfast or pack a lunch ever again! Save time and money by purchasing a Faculty and Staff Meal Plan this fall.

Faculty and Staff meal plans allow you to dine in Ray Dining for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner at a reduced rate. Ray Dining features ten different dining options like made-to-order omelets, a full breakfast, and salad bar, tossed wings, deli sandwiches, plant-based entrees, and global favorites that change daily. You can even grab a Starbucks coffee, including an espresso beverage with a pastry or dessert on your way to work or class.

There are three meal plan options available to be purchased to use in Ray Dining Hall during the academic year:

  • 50 Block $400*
  • 25 Block $225*
  • Graduate Assistant 25 Block $250*

​​​​​​​Unused Block swipes roll over from Fall to Spring semester but will be forfeited at the end of each academic year. Employees who separate from the College with a balance of 5 meals or more will receive a direct refund for unused meals. Additional Block Plans can be purchased anytime by visiting the Card Office.

How It Works

  1. Visit the Card Office on the fourth floor of Harkins Hall and let them know which Block Plan you would like to purchase. Cash, card or checks accepted. Once the purchase is confirmed, your Block Plan will be loaded to your ID card.
  2. Head over to Ray Dining, swipe in at the Welcome Desk, immediately saving $3 to $6.50* off the door rate.
  3. Once inside Ray, enjoy an all you care to eat dining experience with unlimited options. Bon appetite!

*Dependent on the time of day you visit, and Block Plan purchased.
