How Do I Apply For A Meal Plan?

Meal Plans are available to all students, including those living off-campus. Annual Meal Plans start Saturday, August 27, 2012, and end Saturday, May 24, 2013. A new feature has been added to the application process which allows students to apply for a Meal Plan at the same time as their Student Housing online through the Student Housing Portal. Although you may apply for both at the same time, Meal Plan fees are not included in Student Housing fees. Please do not make any payments for your Meal Plan until you see the remaining charges posted to your CSUN Web Portal.

Students living off campus can download the Meal Plan Application, fill it out and either mail it or bring it to the Meal Plan Office along with your payment. Do not send any applications by email! Please do not make any payments for your Meal Plan to Cash Services until you see the remaining charges for the semester posted on your CSUN Web Portal. For specific questions regarding meal plans, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.

Which Plan Would Work Best For Me?
 

Students Living in Housing Units Without a Kitchen

• Purchasing either a 10 Meal Flex 700, 12 Meal Flex 500, or 14 Meal Flex 300 meal plan is required.

Deadlines

• The meal plan must be purchased prior to moving into your non-kitchen housing unit. • You will not be given a key or even allowed to chose your room if you have not yet purchased a meal plan.
• Once you have gone through the application and payment process, you will receive an email letting you know where and when you can pick up your meal plan card.
  • You must bring your CSUN photo ID card with you when you pick up your meal plan card.
    • The sooner you get your application in, the smoother things will go once you arrive on campus.
    Note: The initial payment of $110.00 will be due July 23, 2012. You must make your first payment by that date, even though it may be before financial aid disburses.




Students Living in Housing Units With a Kitchen

• Meal Plans are not mandatory, but are available to those who are interested.
• The 5 Meal 300 dining dollar plan and 7 Meal 600 dining dollar plan were specially designed to be more affordable and cater to busy students who may not want to cook everyday.
• With fewer meals at Geronimo's and more dining dollars for on campus meals, it’s a perfect balance between eating at home and dining out.
• Remember, you can only cancel a meal plan if you move off campus or withdraw from CSUN.


Deadlines

• There is no deadline for signing up, so feel free to get a feel for your living situation before you apply.
• If you are already 100% sure that you would like a meal plan, submit your application through the Student Housing Portal before the start of the semester so we can have your meal card ready for you by the time you move in to your campus housing.
• Once you have gone through the application and payment process, you will receive an email letting you know where and when you can pick up your meal plan card. Please make sure you bring your CSUN photo ID card with you when you pick up your card.
• Remember, you can only cancel a meal plan if you move off campus or withdraw from CSUN.
Note:The first payment will be due July 23, 2012. You must make your first payment by that date, even though it may be before financial aid disburses.




Students Living Off-Campus

• Meal plans are available to students who do not live in campus housing.
• The 5 Meal 300 dining dollar plan, 7 Meal 600 dining dollar plan or the non-meal plan option are recommended.
• If you are interested and would like more information, please send email us at mealplan@csun.edu. Be sure to include your name, CSUN ID number and where you will be living while attending CSUN.
• Note: The 5 meal 300 plan and 7 meal 600 plan require you to dine at Geronimo's 5 or 7 times a week so please make sure your schedule allows you to do so.


Deadlines
