Meal Plans

At Washington and Lee University, we understand that each student has diverse dining needs. One day you may need a quick bite on the way to class, and the next you may have more time to relax and enjoy a meal with friends. To help ensure that these needs are met, our meal plans allow the maximum flexibility and value. 

Undergraduate Plans

All upper-division meal plans will continue to enjoy full retail exchange at all times within all retail outlets. All plans will also feature $225 in Meal Plan Flex Dollars - about $15 per week - to use for à la carte spending across the campus dining locations. For your convenience all students living in on or off campus housing will be assigned to the corresponding default meal plan as shown below.

Students wishing to make a change to this assignment may do so by using the online meal plan form. 

Example: You are in a fraternity with a Fraternity Meal Plan and your default assignment is a 7 meal plan, but you spend a great deal of time on campus, eat often with friends and feel a 20 meal plan will better fit your needs, you would submit a request by using the online meal plan form.  

Law Plans

All law meal plan flex plans are able to be used in all dining units.  1L and 2L students will automatically be enrolled in the Law 1000 Plan which gives you $500 in meal plan flex per semester.  Additional funds may be added at any time. 

Note: Meal plan flex dollars do not carry over from Fall Term to Winter-Spring Term.  3L students are not automatically enrolled in any plan, but can opt in to any meal plan by completing the online meal plan form.

Sick Meal Request Form

Not feeling well? The Sick Meal Request will allow for a designated student (remedy buddy) to assemble and carry out your meals from The Marketplace and deliver to you. You may notify us of your meal request by web submission of this form or by your remedy buddy presenting a completed copy of this form to The Marketplace Cashier. Sick Meal Request forms are also available in The Marketplace. Students requiring meal delivery must request meals prior to the beginning of the meal period (Breakfast at 7:00AM, Lunch at 11:00AM and Dinner at 5:00PM). All meal requests can be submitted at the same time if it is more convenient for the student. The Marketplace menu is available here. Our staff will then reach out to set a designated delivery time.
