Meal Plans
For the health of our students, to encourage community involvement, and for other reasons, The College of Idaho expects that all full-time students participate in a meal plan. First-year students and sophomores living on campus are required to purchase Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, or Plan D. Juniors and seniors who live on campus may purchase Plans A-D or the Commuter Plan. First-year students and sophomores who live off campus may also purchase 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. If a student wishes to change their meal plan after the first week, or is approved by the Non-Academic Petition Committee to change their meal plan after the first week, that change will not take effect until the following semester.
Prices include Idaho sales tax of 6.00%.
