Upperclassmen Residents

All students living in residential housing are required to buy a meal plan from the residential plan options. The default meal plan for all residents is To The Top VIP. We have four meal plans that upperclassmen residents may choose. We offer unlimited or weekly meal plans. Each comes with meal swipes to our all-you-care-to-eat location the Fresh Food Company located in the Thad Cochran Center. Bonus bucks are used just like cash at our retail dining locations on campus.

All residents are automatically assigned the To The Top VIP plan and do not need to take any action unless you'd like to adjust your meal plan to a different selection.

• Unlimited meal plans (To The Top VIP and Black & Gold) allow students to enter the dining hall every hour from the last hour entered. Unlimited Meal Plans also offer Meal Exchange. Meal Exchange is available at Panda Express (after 4 pm), Einstein's Bro, 1910, and SWC 2.0. Each location has a Meal Exchange Menu to choose from. Meal Exchanges reset each Sunday.
• Weekly meal plans allow a set number of meal swipes per week. Meal swipes reset on Sunday and do not roll over to the next week.
• Greek Housing is available to active Greek members residing in campus Greek Housing, (the Row or the Village.)
• Meal swipes and Bonus Bucks expire at the end of the semester. 
• All meal plans are a two-semester commitment. If you sign up for a meal plan in the Fall, you will automatically be enrolled for the same meal plan in the Spring.
• All meal selection changes must be done online or in the Eagle Dining office before the University's deadline to charge to student accounts.

Meal Plans and Dining Dollars charged to student accounts will not be active until the Fall 2025 semester.

Please allow 2 business days for purchase to be active.

Before purchasing, we also recommend reading through our Meal Plan Terms & Conditions.

Guaranteed Dining Dollars: Starting in Fall 2024, each semester, students (Hattiesburg campus, 50% or more face-to-face instruction, full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students under the age of 25) will receive $300 in Dining Dollars which can be used at any dining location on campus. The Guaranteed Dining Dollars are billed separately to the student's account, along with other University charges. The $300 Dining Dollars will be loaded on your Student ID at the beginning of each semester. Any remaining Fall Dining Dollars will roll over to the Spring. The remaining balance will reset at the end of the Spring semester. NOTE: The number of online classes can affect your in-person status and you will not receive Guaranteed Dining Dollars.
