Return to University Housing for Fall 2020 - Spring 2021!

Residents who live in Cougar Village Apartments and Evergreen Hall have the option to purchase a Residential Meal Plan or Cougar Bucks.

Students can choose from three Residential Meal Plan options: 

*Rates are subject to change in accordance with SIU Board of Trustees policy.

All Residential Meal Plans are 60/40 plans. Sixty percent (60%) of the meal plan covers some of the operational costs of Dining Services. The remaining 40% of the meal plan balance is available to spend for food purchases at campus dining venues. Whenever residential meal plan participants purchase made-to-order items, the items are charged at 40% of the retail cost.

Students living in Cougar Village Apartments or Evergreen Hall are not required to purchase a meal plan.

Cougar Bucks can be purchased in $100, $250, and $500 amounts. The voluntary meal plan is available for made-to-order, convenience and packaged food items. Convenience and packaged food items are subject to sales tax. Non-food gift items cannot be purchased on any Cougar Dining meal plan. Students participating in this option can add money to this plan through the Central Housing Office.

All current residents who want to live on campus next year must complete the online Application for Space and pay the $200 advance payment by Friday, February 7.
