All enrolled, SIUE students can now purchase a Commuter Meal Plan for Fall 2025-Spring 2026!

Commuter Meal Plans are an "a la carte" structure, meaning you pay for what you eat. You use it like a debit card at campus dining locations.

How it works:

• Part of what you pay upfront goes toward fixed dining costs (like supplies, staff and maintenance).
• The rest of your meal plan money is added to your Cougar Card for you to use to make purchases.
• The rest is available to spend on food!

Choose from either $500 or $1000 plans.

Purchase your plan today through MyHousing.

Enjoy the convenience of campus dining with a Commuter Meal Plan!
