Community Meal Plans
Black Bear Dining recognizes commuter students as an important part of our campus community. We offer Community Meal Plans for those off-campus students who wish to dine on campus. This can be a welcome change from preparing your own meals or a convenient option when you are on campus during mealtimes. Commuter students may choose from either plan.
