Meal Plan Information

Meal Plan Options

All students living in the residence halls (West, East and Maria halls) and all first-time freshmen living on campus are required to have a meal plan for the full academic year. A student is automatically assigned Meal Plan B upon placement in a residence hall or if they are a first-time freshman, and if students submit a Meal Plan Confirmation Form (emailed over the summer) it will be updated before their arrival to campus. Meal Plan holders are able to change their meal plan during the add/drop period of each semester (first week of classes). After the add/drop deadline, their meal plan choice is locked in for the remainder of that semester.

Residents assigned to an apartment space are not required to have a meal plan, but can purchase a meal plan, if interested, by submitting the Meal Plan Confirmation form emailed in the summer. Meal plans for apartment residents can only be added, changed or canceled during the add/drop period of each semester (first week of classes). After the add/drop deadline, their meal plan choice is locked in for the remainder of that semester.

Meal Plan Frequently Asked Questions

You can think of block meals like a pre-set “combo” in the dining halls. Block meals are equivalent to one entree and three sides at Marletto's; a bowl and drink OR a smoothie of any size at Freshens; a Bowl and drink at Far East Fusion; or one of the Block Meal Combos at World of Wings. Block meals do not carry over from semester to semester, meaning any unused block meals at the conclusion of the semester will be forfeited.

Meal points are spent dollar-for-dollar at on-campus dining locations. Everything is priced à la carte, and you pay for what you get. Points decline as they are spent, just like dollars. Points not used during the fall semester carry over to the spring semester. Points not used by the end of the academic year are forfeited.

Note: Meal points are not Gorlok Bucks! More information about Gorlok Bucks can be found below.

Meal plans, including both block meals and meal points, can be used at any on-campus dining location, including Marletto's Marketplace dining hall, Crossroads food court in the University Center or the Library Cafe. Meal plans cannot be used at off-campus restaurants.

Residents residing in East, West or Maria Hall and first-time freshmen are required to have a meal plan and cannot cancel it. If they have a concern about their dining experience, they may contact Dining Services staff or housing@webster.edu for assistance.

Residents living in apartment areas and have selected a meal plan may cancel their meal plan during the add/drop period of each semester (first week of classes) by emailing housing@webster.edu.

Visit the Office of Housing and Residential Life in West Hall or call 314-246-4663 for more information.

There are a variety of factors to consider when selecting a meal plan. Things to consider are how many times a day the student plans to eat on campus (for example, do they think they will go eat a full breakfast, or have a granola bar in their room before class?), and what type of food they plan to eat.

Typically, the most efficient way to use the meal plan is to use the Block Meals (meal combos) for most meals, and then the points for treats or smaller snacks.

Most students do well with the middle meal plan, Meal Plan B. If a student has a very busy schedule and plans to eat less on campus, Meal Plan C might be a better fit. If a student is planning to exclusively eat on campus, or likes to split up their day with multiple meals, Meal Plan A might make more sense due to unlimited Block Meals. Blue & Gold Meal Plans offer ultimate flexibility, so students with very specific dietary habits might benefit from this plan. Know that since the Blue & Gold Meal Plan is all ala carte, some students struggle to budget their meal plan for the entire semester.

Webster Dining options account for students with different food needs. In 2022-2023 there was a strong effort to increase and improve options related to students who are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and Halal, which can be accounted for at Marletto’s and the University Center options. Please contact housing@webster.edu if you have specific concerns and we can answer your questions or direct you to the dining general manager or dietician!
