Fall and Spring Semesters
Meal plans are contracts that offer discounts on volume purchases of meals. Five basic plans have been designed to meet the needs of USC students.
- The 21-meal plan provides dining at all meals served during the week. Cost per semester is $1,002 including sales tax.
- The 16-meal plan provides dining at all dining areas for any 16 meals served during the week plus $100 non-carry over cash card. The cash card can be used at any dining location, as well as the Country Store and Earthworks. Cost per semester is $1,019 including sales tax.
- The 14-meal plan provides dining at all dining areas for any 14 meals served during the week. Cost per semester is $931 including sales tax.
- The 10-meal plan provides dining at all dining areas for any 10 meals served during the week. Cost per semester is $853 including sales tax.
- The 5-meal plan provides dining at all dining areas for any five meals served during the week. Cost per semester is $505 including sales tax.
- Cash cards allow students to purchase meals and snacks with a computerized declining-balance cash card, eliminating the need to carry cash. Cash cards can be used at all dining locations, the markets, and Earthworks. Cash cards can be purchased in $10 increments from $40 up.
- Students may purchase meals in blocks of 160 or 185. Block cards may be used at any meal time and may be carried over to a succeeding semester. Cost of a 160-meal block is $896 and a 185-meal block costs $939.
