Plan Options

NorthwesternState University’s meal plan requirements stipulate that all on-campus residents, except graduate students, purchase a meal plan. Freshmen (those students with less than 30 hours and residing on-campus) must purchase the 17 Meal Plan. If you do not select a meal plan you will automatically be given the 17 Meal Plan.

Our meal plans have the options of:

  1. Traditional meals at the all-you-care-to-eat Iberville Dining Hall facility,
  2. Demon Dollars , which is a declining balance that allows you to eat atanyof our dining locations on campus at your convenience, or
  3. A combination of both traditional meals and Demon Dollars / Declining Balance.

* Regardless of which meal plan you have, please note that both you and your student card / ID must be present at the time of purchase. No one else may use your card, and we cannot key in your student ID in place of swiping your card. *

** All traditional meal swipes for the Iberville Dining Hall refill on Wednesdays **

Meal Plan Change Forms


The last day to change your meal plan or to request an exemption from a meal plan is seven (7) days after classes start. After that date, no changes will be made unless under the specific direction from the General Manager of Sodexo. Students who are allowed to cancel traditional meal plans after the seventh day of classes will be charged a prorated amount based on two week time periods up until the final day to resign or drop courses with a grade of “W” as published in the schedule of classes. There will be no refunds after the final day to resign or drop courses with a grade of “W” as published in the Schedule of Classes. There are no refunds on Declining Balance meal plans.
