Student Meal Plans
Students are automatically enrolled in the 15-meal plan. If students would like to change their meal plan they will only need to contact the Dining Services Office at (312) 329-4324 or diningservices@moody.edu by the end of the second week of classes each semester. Unless otherwise requested, each student will remain on the meal plan in which they are currently enrolled.
Funds can be added to student fobs or to a Dining Services Card to make quicker and easier purchases at any of our Dining Services locations. One favored spot is Joe’s: our unparalleled, student-run coffee shop which offers a relaxing atmosphere for studying or breaks. We also have The Commons, our premier retail café where they can quickly grab freshly made grill options, pre-made sandwiches, or their desired snack.
