Meal Plan Information
Meal Plans provide nutritional and convenient meals for our students without all the hassle of cooking and cleaning the dishes. Students can use their meal plan at GT Dining Hall, Rendezvous Food Court, and the Pond Student Union. Meal Swipes are only used at GT Dining Hall. GT Dining Hall is a cafeteria style dining facility with all you can eat, while Rendezvous and the Student Union are a la carte (pay per item).
A meal plan is required for residence hall students unless they are in their junior year or beyond. Students can change their meal plan through the end of the second week of classes. If a student runs out of flex dollars they can add more money to their account by contacting Chartwells at 208.282.5831. Students in apartments may also purchase residence hall meal plans or commuter meal plans.

Changing a Meal Plan
Meal plans may be changed during the first two weeks of the semester by visiting the University Housing office or emailing the change to University Housing at reslife@isu.edu. To cancel a meal plan after the first two weeks of classes, students must submit a formal appeal form, which they can get at the University Housing office. A committee will determine whether or not the appeal will be granted.
The GT Dining Hall
The GT Dining Hall is located in Turner Hall. GT serves meals seven days a week, except when closed. GT can meet virtually every diet by offering a convenient and large menu. There are four major service areas offered: Main Entrees, Soup and Salads, the Grill, and Deli Bar. GT serves cafeteria style, so you can always get more if you’d like. Meal Swipes and Flex Dollars can be used at GT. When it comes to economy and nutrition, GT is by far the best choice on campus. Hours of operation and the current menu are both available online.
Rendezvous Food Court
Located in the Rendezvous, the Food Court offers fast food, cooked/prepared to order meals, deli subs, pizza, sandwiches, salads, and drinks to students with Flex dollars or cash. The Rendezvous is a great place for lunch and snacks and Coyote Jack’s is open for dinner. You can also get snacks and some lighter hot meals at the C-Store, a convenience store right next to the Food Court that accepts Flex Dollars or cash.
Pond Student Union/SUB Market Cafe
Located in the SUB, the Market Cafe offers fast food, cooked/prepared to order meals, deli subs, pizza, sandwiches, salads, and drinks to students with Flex dollars or cash. The Market Café is a great place to grab a bite in between classes or to meet friends for breakfast or lunch. The Market Cafe accepts Flex Dollars or cash.
