All residents living on-campus, with the exception of those living in the Buccaneer Ridge Apartments, will be part of a residential dining experience through the 7-Day Anytime Silver Dining Plan. Residents living on-campus for at least four semesters can request to change to the 5-Day Anytime or 15 Meal Limited Dining Plan, or may decline a plan. Residents of Buccaneer Ridge Apartments and commuters may opt into any of the Dining/Block Plans.
We have meal plans available to all students on and off campus, as well as faculty and staff meal plans.
Students living in residence halls will receive information about meal plans via their ETSU email, and information will be posted on the housing website at www.etsu.edu/students/housing/dining.php. Students living in residence halls may sign up for meal plans at https://etsu-residence.symplicity.com. Buccaneer Ridge residents and commuter students may purchase a Block or Anytime Plan by requesting an application from housing@etsu.edu.
Students will have the fee for their meal plan placed on their student Goldlink account (like tuition and fees). Faculty and Staff may pay for their meal plan upfront, or request payroll deduction.
A “Meal” is a single swipe to enter the dining hall or the Tree House for breakfast, lunch, and dinner or at selected other times.
Guest meals function exactly like a regular meal at the student’s discretion. In most instances, guest meals are used to treat visiting friends and family to a meal in the dining hall.
All of your meal plan information is placed on your student ID card and must be presented at each dining location where your meal plan or dining dollars are used. There is no worry of carrying cash around campus!
Students may change their Anytime Dining Meal Plan to another Anytime Plan with no penalties before the second day of class by sending an email from your ETSU email account to housing@etsu.edu. The last day to change for fall is August 22, 2022 and for Spring is January 17, 2023.
For students who opted to purchase an Anytime Dining Plan, to cancel both fall and spring semesters, you must do so by sending an email from your ETSU email account to housing@etsu.edu by July 31, 2022. Students who purchased a plan for Spring 2022 only, may request to cancel by January 12, 2023.
Cancelling this Agreement after July 31, 2022 for fall and spring or January 12, 2023 for spring only will require an appeal with the ETSU Housing and Dining Appeals Committee.
Block dining plans beginning in the fall are a two-semester agreement, if enrolled for spring. Students may request to change their Block Dining Plan to a different Block Plan or an Anytime Dining Plan for the fall and spring semesters with no penalties by sending an email from their ETSU email account to housing@etsu.edu by August 22, 2022 for fall semester and January 12, 2023 for spring. Students who purchased a plan for Spring 2022 only, may request to change by January 12, 2023.
Students may request to cancel a Block Dining Plan for fall and spring semesters in writing by sending an email from their ETSU email account to housing@etsu.edu by July 31, 2022. Students who purchased a plan for Spring 2022 only, may request to cancel by January 12, 2023.
Block Plans are sold on behalf of Sodexo and are non-cancellable, non-transferrable, and non-refundable after the stated deadline each semester.

Each meal swipe may be used in the Dining Hall or at the Tree House.
Anytime Dining Meal Plans may be used at the Treehouse Takeout, but swipes are not unlimited. If a meal plan is used at the Treehouse, that meal plan may not be used at the Dining Hall or Treehouse until the next meal period begins. If a meal plan is used at the Dining Hall, that meal plan may not be used at the Treehouse until 2 hours have passed. This policy is to ensure that Anytime Meal Plans are being used for only one student.
