Change Your Meal Plan

University housing residents can change their meal plans during the three designated change weeks below. Freshmen residents may change between the three traditional plans (Flex 5, Flex 7 and Meals Plus), while 2nd Year/Upper Division residents may choose between five plans (Flex 5, Flex 7, Meals Plus, 2nd Year Standard or 2nd Yr Basic Plan). 

To change a meal plan, the student meal plan holder must complete and sign a new agreement with SDSU Dining. An online request form will be available on the main page of our website during the designated change periods only.

$10 change fee is required at the time the request is submitted and may be paid by credit or debit card.

Important: Request forms must be completed by students as the account holders. Meal plan cancellations are not permitted at any time once a plan has been selected, regardless of class year.

Billing & Remaining Balances

Billing adjustments may take an additional 4–6 weeks to appear in mySDSU. As the university operates on a prepaid basis, services such as meal plans may be subject to suspension for non-payment. Students should keep their accounts current while billing adjustments are being processed.

Please note: When changing out of a Meals Plus or a 2nd Year Plan into a Flex plan, any remaining balance on the existing plan will not transfer or carry over to the new plan.
