Apartment Meal Plans

Enjoy eating at all Dining locations and charge it to your student account!

Living on campus at CWU has never been more exciting! There are many food options to choose from and a new “All-You-Care-to-Enjoy” service style at Holmes Dining in the SURC. Additionally, there are eight restaurants, eight cozy cafés, and three well-stocked markets, some of which are located just outside of student residence halls and on-campus apartments. If you are living in Anderson, Brooklane Village, Carmody-Munro, Short-Getz, Student Village, or the Wahle on-campus apartments, you are eligible for our all new Apartment Flex Plan, in addition to our classic Residential Meal Plans.

Flex Plan

Choose the perfect plan for your lifestyle with our four-tier options and enjoy 10% off at the register!

Flex 1: $1250
Flex 2: $1000
Flex 3: $750
Flex 4: $500

Your chosen Apartment Meal Plan will be loaded onto your CWU Connection Card, giving you easy access to any of our on-campus dining locations. Students can charge these meal plans to their student account as long as they are selected prior to add/drop.

After selecting your plan, the balance will automatically be added onto your Connection Card at the start of each quarter. Should you deplete your apartment flex plan dollars before the end of the quarter, Wildcat Bucks can be purchased and loaded to the Connection Card at no additional costs.

If your meal plan is not the right fit for you, please feel free to change it during the add/drop period. To change your Apartment Meal Plan, visit MyHousing during the add/drop period.

Apartment Meal Plan selections are now open for Fall Quarter, 2025.

What are my other dining options?

You can explore our Residential Meal Plans or Wildcat Bucks.
Can I have an Apartment Flex Plan if I register for Rent Applied From Financial Aid with Housing?

Yes. If you plan to apply for rent applied from financial aid and select an Apartment Flex Plan, please consult your financial aid total accepted award to be sure it will cover both items.
Can those who select an apartment flex plan 1, 2, 3, or 4 use their meal plans to purchase items in town where Wildcat Bucks are excepted? Some examples are 7-11, Subway, and McDonald's.

No. Only the traditional Wildcat Bucks funds are available to use with the off-campus program, and not the Apartment Flex Plan funds.
Are the Apartment Flex plans available to those who are second, third, or fourth year students who are residing in Residence Halls, not on-campus apartments such as the Douglas Honor's College or Stephen's Whitney?

No. Students residing in traditional residence halls, where a meal plan is required, would still need to select from one of the traditional residence hall meal plans. However, we are in the planning stages of launching a returning resident meal plan for the Fall 2025 academic year. More information will be shared as it becomes available.
Can a student opt out of the auto-renewal from the start of the request when they are selecting the plan?
No. However, students can modify or cancel their plan during the quarterly add/drop dates:
Log in to MyCWU.

Click the "Student" tab at the top

Click the "University Housing" link on the left side

Under the Housing link, click on the "My Housing" sub-link.

On the left-hand menu, select "Dining Choice."

Select "Dining Plans."

You will then have the option to change your plan.

Come in to the Connection Card Office during add/drop and fill out a Meal Plan change form.
If a student requests a flex plan, how soon are the funds loaded and available for use on their connection cards?

Fall Quarter: funds will be added your connection card the Sunday before Move-In.

Winter Quarter: funds will be added the Sunday prior to students returning to campus.

Spring: funds will be added the Sunday prior to students returning to campus.
