Meal Plan Information & Cost

For meal plan purposes, "Freshmen" are high school graduates who have not attended higher education for either a Fall or Spring semester after their high school graduation. This classification covers the first academic year the student is enrolled at Baylor.

Students who complete college hours during high school, and/or attend another university during the summer, and matriculate at Baylor in the Fall are deemed "Freshmen" for the Fall and Spring semesters. Students graduating from high school in December and matriculating at Baylor in the Spring are considered "Freshmen" for only the Spring semester.

Brooks and Teal residents selecting the All Access 5 Days per Week meal plan will have access Sunday dinner through Friday lunch.

Voluntary Residents and Commuters can choose from any of the meal plans above.

All weekly meal plans (All Access 7 Days per Week and all Block Plans) are Saturday breakfast through Friday dinner.

All meal plans include 5 guest passes per semester. Prices include 8.25% sales tax.
