Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Meal Plan?
A Meal Plan provides a budgeted number of meals every week to Crossroads Café Dining Hall which is an “All You Care To Eat” dining hall. Meal plans are good for the entire semester and at the start of each new semester the meal plan resets and a new allotment of meals depending on which plan you choose.
How do I select a Meal Plan?
The First Year Experience at ENMU requires all freshmen to live in the residence halls and are thereby required to select a meal plan. There are 4 meal plan choices with varying weekly meal allotments and Flex Dollar amounts. All of our meal plans are targeted to meet the unique needs and preferences of our customers. Whether security, budget, assurance, meal frequency, convenience, price or flexibility is important to you. You will find that we’ve simplified the meal plan selection process for you with our descriptions. Please refer to our comprehensive dining brochure or our website to choose the right meal plan for you.

A Meal Plan provides the benefit of having meals on a weekly basis. You will also have extra spending money, known as Flex Dollars, available to use at any of our retail locations around campus.
