All students living in residential housing are required to buy a meal plan from the residential plan options. 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.
- Unlimited meal plans allow students to enter the dining hall every hour from the last hour entered.
- 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 2024 semester.
Please allow 2 business days for purchase to be active.
Before purchasing, we also recommend reading through our Meal Plan Terms & Conditions.

New beginning Fall 2024 -- Guaranteed Dining Dollars is a new program for all Southern Miss Hattiesburg campus full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students under the age of 25.
