Meal plans offer a better dining value for your dollar when you use your UniversityCard instead of paying cash. Our plans consist of two key features. The first, DeSales Meal, is totally unique to DeSales University and offers our students an incredible meal at an incredible value. The second is our flexible spending account that gives everyone the power of choice.

DeSales Meal
Our dining plans include “DeSales Meal ” - an exciting dining concept exclusive to the DeSales University campus. Depending on the dining plan you choose, you are entitled to a freshly prepared four course meal in our Food Court.

Course One: Entrée
Each Food Court Station will provide a tasty entrée eligible for your DeSales Meal. You may choose from any of our signature dining concepts, including Le Bistro, Sauté, Frankie’s Deli, Sizzle,
Pizza & Amoré and a full salad bar.

Course Two: Side Dishes
You may also choose any three (3) side dishes you like to accompany your dinner. Choose between a crisp healthful salad, a steamy comforting bowl of homemade soup, or side options from our Le Bistro, Grill or Pizza stations.

Course Three: Dessert
The perfect ending to the perfect meal. Take your pick of any of our delicious homemade desserts prepared especially for you!

Beverage:
Wash down your DeSales Meal with two fountain beverages or two cups of coffee, hot tea or cocoa. Or you may want one of each. Another option is one bottled beverage from the Coke cooler.

Simply make your selections for your DeSales meal and present your UniversityCard as you exit the Food Court. The meal will automatically be deducted from the balance in your account.

*If you’d like to return to the Food Court a second time during dinner, items purchased will be deducted from your Dining Dollars. Also, any prepackaged food or beverages will be deducted from your Dining Dollars as well.

Dining Dollars
Dining Dollars are available on your UniversityCard based on the meal plan you purchase. These dollars can be spent at your discretion in the Food Court or Skylight Lounge in Dooling for breakfast and lunch. These funds do not carry over for the next semester, and any funds remaining will be forfeited at the end of the semester.
