Meal Plans

Eat what you want, when you want, where you want.

To provide the highest quality service to our students and community, the decision has been made to defer the opening of West Woods Dining Hall until January 2026. To learn more and read the full notice to the community, visit W&M News announcements.

You’ve got enough to focus on around campus: classes, studying, work and extracurricular activities. You shouldn’t have to plan meal prep as well. Having a meal plan lets you grab a meal with your friends when you want it and where you want it.

We have meal plans that fit into your schedule and provide an assortment of high-quality choices, with all the types of food you like. Short on cash? No worries, your meals are prepaid. Want something healthy? You’ve got it. Want to satisfy your sweet tooth? We can help with that, too. So whether you’re looking to fill up or just hang out, we’ve got you covered.

W&M Dining offers two types of dining experiences: residential dining, which provides all-access meal options, and retail dining, where students can use their Dining Dollars.

The selection portal for Fall 2025 will open for eligible changes and enrollments on June 30, 2025. Select the plan that best fits your needs and manage your meal plan at tribecard.wm.edu. The meal plan selection window will remain open until 11:59pm on the first Friday of each semester. While changes to meal plans will immediately reflect in the portal, please allow 3-4 business days for charges to update on your student account.

A meal plan accommodation must be submitted to formally request a change from the allowable meal plan options. While completing the accommodation, you will need to have these documents available to submit based on your reasons for an accommodation. Requests will not be reviewed until all documentation is received by William & Mary. 

Need to make an additional meal plan adjustment after the one allowable change? Email [[dining,dining@wm.edu]]. Refunds and charges will be calculated on a daily meal plan rate as of the date the request was made. A $25 processing fee will also be assessed.

*Campus-managed apartments are defined as Ludwell, Tribe Square, Cabell and Nicholas apartments and Evans Apartments.
