SIGNUP FOR A MEAL PLAN 

 

Important Points

  • If you are enrolled in a meal plan for the fall semester, you will be auto-enrolled in the same plan for the spring unless you change or cancel your plan by January 26.
  • Charges are sent to the Cashier’s office. If you have a scholarship or financial aid, these funds can be applied to your plan. Plans are priced per semester, and meal plans are subject to NC sales tax. Because taxes are included upfront, no tax will be charged at the cash register. 
  • If you are experiencing food insecurity and are unable to afford a meal plan, please reach out to Pack Essentials for assistance at go.ncsu.edu/pack-essentials
