What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan unlocks delicious meals, coffee, snacks, and more, at three dining locations on campus, as well as off campus Jet's Pizza. All Residential Plans and Block Plans include Meal Swipes and Devil Dollars, conveniently loaded onto your LTU Badge. No need to carry additional cards or cash!
If you are a commuter or staff/faculty member and it is your first time purchasing a meal plan, please contact us at campusdining@ltu.edu prior to purchase so we can add you to our system.
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, the Blue Devil Café, inside the Buell Management Building. Choose from three flexible meal plans: an unlimited plan, a weekly allotment, or a semester block - perfect for commuter students, faculty and staff. No matter your schedule, there's a meal plan that fits your needs!
- Weekly swipes need to be used within the week and reset every Sunday.
- Block plan swipes roll over from week to week.
Exciting News: Unlimited Meal Swipes coming Fall 2025! Get ready for the ultimate dining experience! Starting in Fall 2025, our new Unlimited Meal Plans give you the freedom to swipe into the Blue Devil Cafe as many times as you want throughout the week. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or drink, or meeting friends for a meal, you're covered!
The only limit? You can't swipe more than once every 30 minutes - but with unlimited access you'll never go hungry!
Devil Dollars
Devil Dollars act like a tax-free gift card for all food on campus and are included in all residential meal plans. Devil Dollars can be used at:
- Blue Devil Cafe (if you run out of meals for the week)
- Einstein Bros. Bagels
- Blue Devil Market
- Jets Pizza for pizza delivery
- GrubHub mobile ordering for Einstein Bros. Bagels and the Blue Devil Market
Devil Dollars do roll over from the Fall semester to the Spring semester. Devil Dollars do not roll over to the next year, any Devil Dollars not used at the end of the Spring semester will be lost.
