Dining & Meal Plans
Dining Services offers meal options designed to support students’ nutrition, schedules and dietary needs. All meals include a vegetarian option and vegan entrée. We also encourage you to share favorite recipes with our staff to ensure you feel at home!
Meal Plans
All resident students must have a meal plan while living on campus. There are a variety of meal plan options available to students.
| Plan | Description |
|---|---|
| Meal Plan 1 | For all first-year resident freshman and residents who spend most of their time on campus, including breaks. |
| Meal Plan 2 | For residents sophomore and above who spend the majority of their time on campus. Freshmen have the option of changing to this plan after one semester living on campus. |
| Meal Plan 3 | For residents sophomore and above who frequently go home on weekends and have off-campus employment and/or internships. |
| Clare Only Meal Plan | For residents of Clare Hall. Clare Hall allows for a more independent living experiences and this meal plan provides some additional flexibility for students. |
| Graduate Meal Plan | For graduate students living on campus. This is the smallest meal plan to allow for the different schedules and needs of our graduate student population. |
| Commuter Meal Plan | A commuter meal plan is included each semester for students in weekday undergraduate programs, except fully online programs. |
Alverno meal plans work like a debit card. Funds are added at the beginning of each semester and can be used at Hudson’s Servery or Inferno Café. As you purchase meals, drinks or snacks, the amount in your account is reduced.
Students can add funds to their meal plans at any time by asking a cashier at either Hudson's Servery or the Inferno Cafe. Meal plan funds cannot roll over from semester to semester, so
please ensure you are keeping up with your balance!
For information on meal plan costs, please see our Tuition page.
