Meal Plan Options and Costs

The “board” portion of “room and board,” commonly referred to as the meal plan, is required of every residential student. You may choose from among several meal plans. Plans are based on the number of meals, either per week (14-19 plans) or per semester (block plans), and allows for one meal per meal period. Several plans also include flex points.

Flex Points

Flex points can be spent at any Bon Appétit location at Lewis and Clark. One Flex point equals $1 in value. Flex is value placed on your student ID card which you can use like a declining balance. Points carry over from semester to semester if you remain on a meal plan, however, at the end of the year, any remaining points are lost.

*Meal Plan Eligibility Rules 

Block meal plans are only offered to Junior, Senior, Graduate and Law students. Flex Only meals plans are only available to students who are living in the apartments on campus.
