Fall 2023 & Spring 2024 Meal Plan Prices

Freedom Plans and Patriot Plans are perfect for students living off campus. These meal plans are billed to the student account and offer tax-exempt dining. Off-campus students are also welcome to purchase either an Independence or Liberty Plan.

If you would like to purchase a meal plan or if you would like to make a change to the plan you have already selected, go to the online Mason Card Office.*

  • Patriot Plans**: Purchase a fixed number of meals to be used at dining halls. Great for students living on campus with a full kitchen or any off-campus students 
  • Freedom Plans**: Dollar-for-dollar purchasing power in most locations on all three campuses. Great for students living on campus with a full kitchen or any off-campus students. 
 
Students living on campus with a full kitchen in their residence (Liberty Square, Northern Neck, Potomac Heights, Rogers, Townhouses) are not required to purchase a meal plan, however, students still have the option to choose from all four meal plans offered.
 

Note: All meal plans are for personal use only. Bonus funds can be used for guests (family/friend). Independence plan holders are provided with three guest meals per semester.

These plans are targeted for students on the go who can budget the funds throughout the 16-week semester. Freedom Plans offer dollar-for-dollar tax-exempt purchasing power in most dining venues. Students will receive a $2.00 discount off the door price at each of the three dining halls. The funds are available approximately one week prior to the first day of class and active throughout the entire semester. Remaining balances will roll over from fall to spring. All funds must be used by the end of the spring semester.*
