Meal Plan Change & Exemptions

Seattle University believes living and interacting with others outside of the classroom enhances the education of the whole person. On-campus dining offers a great opportunity to serve this purpose. On-campus dining fosters a more vibrant, tight-knit community. It provides opportunities for students to develop close and supportive relationships, meet new people, and interact with faculty and staff in a non-classroom setting. In addition, on-campus dining promotes healthy and informed dietary habits.  Seattle University requires all students who are a part of the on-campus residency requirement to participate in the meal plan program. 

Meal Plan Policy:  

  • Freshmen and sophomores living in the residence halls are required to sign-up for at least the Preferred Club Meal Plan. 
  • Freshmen and sophomores living in on-campus Apartments are required to sign-up for at least the Murphy Plan. 
  • Juniors and Seniors living in the residence halls are required to sign-up for at least the Campus Club Plan. 
  • Juniors and seniors living in on-campus apartments and students living off-campus may opt for any level of meal plan and do not have a required minimum.
