2023-2024 Dining Plans


Meal plans offer convenience, variety, and savings to your campus experience. We offer plans for resident and commuter students as well as faculty and staff members. Need a quick take-out option? All meal plans come with Flex Dollars to be used at Devil’s Den, ZIME and Starbucks which each offer Take-Away options.

For those with class conflicts, an internship, or an off-campus job that interferes with your ability to eat in the dining hall, arrangements for a box lunch can be made in advance by calling 860 832-3797.

Below are our plan options for the 2023-2024 school year.

Designed for convenience, meal plans are loaded directly onto your student ID. Meal swipes are for use at the all you care to eat style, Residence Dining Hall.  Flex dollars are specifically used for purchases at any of our on campus dining locations including Devil's Den, Zime, and Starbucks, where meal swipes are not accepted.  Blue Chip dollars are a campus currency accepted at all on campus dining locations as well as elsewhere on and off campus.

All students living on campus must have a resident meal plan. Freshmen are required to select from the Blue Devil Essential or the Blue Devil Essential Plus. Transfer students and upperclassmen may chose from any of the resident meal plan options.
