Meal Plans

To support the health of our students, facilitate community engagement, and help ensure reasonably priced plans, The College of Idaho expects that all full-time students participate in a meal plan. First-semester freshmen living on campus are required to purchase Plan A, B, or C; freshmen in their second semester and sophomores living on campus are required to purchase Plan A, B, C, or D. Juniors and seniors who live on campus may purchase Plans A-D or the Commuter Plan.

A student may add Coyote Cash onto their meal plan and upgrade to a larger meal plan at any point in the year. Meal Plans A, B, C, or D can be downgraded only during the first week of fall and winter semesters.

Prices include Idaho sales tax of 6.00%.
