Meal Plan Agreement/Requirements 2025-2026
Northwestern State 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:
- Traditional meals at the all-you-care-to-eat Iberville Dining Hall facility,
- Demon Dollars which is a declining balance that allows you to eat at any of our dining locations on campus at your convenience, or
- a combination of both.
** 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 type in your student ID in place of swiping your card. **
** Note: All traditional meal swipes for Iberville refill on Wednesdays. **
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.
If you need to fill out an Exemption from Campus Dining Services, the form may be obtained from the One Card Office or online at http://onecard.nsula.edu . Fill out the form completely and turn it in to the One Card Office. You will be notified if your Exemption from Campus Dining Services has been approved or denied.
If you have Demon Dollars left on your account at the end of the Fall semester, these Dollars will roll over ONLY if you purchase a meal plan for the Spring semester. However, you must use all your Dollars by the end of the Spring semester. Demon Dollars do NOT roll over from the Spring semester to Summer.
Please check the Meal Plan of your choice. Make sure you are eligible for the meal plan you are choosing. By indicating below the meal plan option of your choice and returning this agreement to the One Card Office or Sodexo, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Meal Plan Agreement/Requirements.
