Meal Plans
Campus Dining is provided by Sodexo, a nationally known college food service management organization. For cafeteria menus and information about On-Campus retail dining venues, please visit the Manoa Dining Services website.
Participation in the dining program is mandatory for residence hall students and optional for apartment residents. Students will be able to select their meal plan at the time they sign their housing contract. If no meal plan is selected by the acceptance deadline, students assigned to the residence halls will be defaulted to the Choice 14 meal plan. . Dietary restrictions are not grounds for exemption from a dining plan. Alternate housing should be sought due to special diets. Any resident who fails to comply with the dining program requirements will be subject to termination of his/her Student Housing Services contract.
Meal plan payments must be submitted to the Student Housing Services office by the payment deadline indicated on the Student Housing contract.
The meal plans entitles you to various meals, in the form of swipes, each week (Sunday to Saturday) during the semester, plus a predetermined amount of retail meal points per semester. For example, the Choice Plan entitles residents to eat up to 14 meals each week and $175.00 in meal points that may be used at the residential dining cafeterias and various campus retail outlets. Please note that unused meals for the week will expire each Saturday night; meal points will expire at the end of the spring semester.
These plans feature the traditional residential dining experience with unlimited second servings at either the Hale Aloha or Gateway House Cafeterias. Additionally, meals may be eaten at select retail campus outlets at the Campus Center. Meals at retail venues will have a cash equivalency $6.00 per meal. Points may be used to cover any cost above the equivalency.
More details on meal plans can be found on the Manoa Dining Services website.
