All first year college students living on-campus are required to participate in one of four meal plans. There are no exceptions to this provision. If you are not a first year student, and would like a Meal Plan, you may purchase one through the Seawolf Service Center. They can be reached in Salazar Hall on the first floor or at (707) 664-2308.

There are two components to every meal plan. Each plan includes a set number of meals per week and a Dining Dollar per semester component. The meals per week are served at the Zinfandel Dining Hal in an all-you-care-to-eat concept. The meal plan week runs from Sunday to Saturday, and any unused meals during this time frame do not roll over into the next week.

Meal plans also include a Dining Dollar per semester component, known as Dining Dollars. Dining Dollars are electronic debit dollars and can be used anytime during the semester at every on-campus dining location (except for the University Club). Dining Dollars are tracked electronically with your balance printed on the receipt each time you make a purchase. There are no refunds on Dining Dollars and they expire at the end of each semester.

It is important that you carefully select your meal plan. Once you have selected a plan, it cannot be changed until the end of the semester.
