Meal Plans
In order to meet your campus dining needs, we have
designed the following meal plans for the 2011-2012
academic year. If you need to purchase a meal plan,
or if you would like to make a change to the plan you
have already selected, simply stop by the Dining
Services office, visit the Dining Services website or
call the Housing Office at 605-274-5215.
Having trouble selecting a meal plan? Try considering
your daily routine…Do you eat three meals a day? Will
your class schedule, studying, co-curricular activities
and social events interfere with dining? Will you miss
dinner due to employment or evening classes?
Anticipating the answers to these and similar questions
will help you select a meal plan that best fits your lifestyle.
Block Plans
Meal plans are such an important part of a student's lifestyle whether they are incoming freshmen or returning upperclassmen. Our goal is to match each and every student with the perfect meal plan that meets and exceeds their expectation, giving them total control and flexibility along with the best value for the dollar.
