Ohio University Dining Services provide five different meal plan options to fit students' budgets and eating habits. Students on any of the meal plans may choose to eat in any of the dining halls, (Boyd, Bromley, Jefferson, Shively and Nelson), regardless of where they live.

Any student enrolled at Ohio University may purchase a meal plan by calling the Residence Services Office at 740-593-4090.
All students with fewer than 90 earned credit hours or two academic years (six quarters) in the residence halls must reside in university-owned housing and participate in the associated mandatory board plan, in accordance with University's Housing Regulation. Any of the five meal plan options will satisfy the board plan requirement.

Meal plans are purchased for the entire academic year. This requirement allows us to enter into favorable year-long purchasing agreements with vendors. Students may increase to a larger meal plan at any time. Once the school year begins meal plans may not be decreased. How do I change my meal plan?

Special accommodations are made for the dietary needs of international students and others. Individuals may discuss their needs with the assistant director for menu planning.
