Meal Plans
More than a place to live
Between classes and activities, you will have enough to keep you busy without adding cooking meals to the list. A campus meal plan makes it easy. With expanded service hours and a variety of food options available, the hard part is choosing what you want to eat.
Your dining service is managed by Chartwells, a division of Compass Group North American Inc., a nationwide food service firm that works with college administrations and students to provide a variety of nutritious menu options combined with personalized service for a pleasant dining experience.
For more information please visit the Chartwells ASU Dining Services website. If you live in a residence hall and have completed fewer than 60 semester credit hours, purchasing a meal plan is required. Meal plans are optional for students assigned to Vanderventer Apartments and for all summer housing residents.
Types of Meal Plans
-
Plan A: Seven day/21 meals a week: Entitles you to three meals a day, seven days a week.
-
Plan B: Seven day/15 meals a week: Entitles you to choose any 15 meals Monday through Sunday.
- Plan C: Five day/15 meals a week: Entitles you to three meals a day Monday through Friday.
Each Meal Plan includes $50 in RamPoints.
RamPoints are a feature included in the cost of the Meal Plans that allows you to make $50 in direct food purchases at the cafeteria, the UC Snack Bar, Outtakes convenience store at Centennial Village and R&B Espresso. To make a purchase using your RamPoints, simply present your ASU OneCard to the attendant and say you would like to use your RamPoints. The attendant will swipe your card and the amount of the purchase will be deducted from your account.

Part of the meal plans. Only people who purchase a meal plan have RamPoints. |
All currently enrolled students have an active Ram Bucks account. To use the account, they need to add value (make a deposit). They can add value in the OneCard Office in the Administration Building using cash, check, money order, MC or VISA. They can also add value using cash at the CSVT machines. |
|
They can be used only for food purchases at on-campus dining locations. |
Ram Bucks can be used for food purchases at all locations, for snack and beverage purchases in selected vending machines, to activate the laundry machines in the residence halls and VV, for color laser printing in the MCS computer lab, to make photocopies, and for purchases at the ASU Bookstore. |
|
Unused RamPoints do not roll over to the next semester. |
Unused Ram Bucks carry forward from semester to semester as long as the student is enrolled. |
|
RamPoints that have not been used when a student leaves the university are not refunded. |
When a student leaves the University and has a balance of $5 or more, he/she can submit a written request for refund. |
The meal specifications at ASU are designed with balanced nutrition in mind, but it is the students’ responsibility to choose items that create a healthy diet according to their individual needs.
