Dining & Meal Plans

Female Student in STAC

Meal Plan Options

Dining with friends is an integral part of your college experience. Whether it's a quick bite on the go or a casual sit-down with your friends in the St. Thomas Aquinas Commons (STAC), a meal plan makes it easy to refuel and reconnect. 

Please note: our default meal plan for all students is the anytime "Silver" plan, but you have the opportunity to consider other meal plan options that provide additional add-ons! As has been the case in the past, if you are eligible for a lower-tier meal plan, you will have until the first Friday after classes start to adjust your meal plan. You can move your meal plan up a tier at any point throughout the semester.
