Dining Plans

Academic Year 2023–2024

Students may change their meal plan through the first week of classes for the fall and spring semester. To change your meal plan, enter your Hope Housing Portal, select “Change my Meal Plan,” identify your preferred meal plan, and select “Purchase Meal Plan” to finalize the change.

Please know that students living in residence halls are required to have a minimum of a 10-meal plan with the college Dining Services, per the Dining Services and Board Policy. Students living in off-campus residences or in college-operated apartments and cottages often choose to have a meal plan, but it is not required.
