Northern Lights Food Court FAQs

How does the Unlimited Access Meal Plan work?
Meal plans provide either 15 or 19 meals per week to the Food Court during operating hours. Students can simply swipe in, using their official Northern ID, and choose from all available options.   Meal Plans do not roll over from semester to semester.  You can choose to Dine in or Take out (to go container are available with meal plans) If you dine in and then also take a meal to go this will count as 2 swipes. As long as you don't exceed your swipe limit you won't be charged anything per item or per visit - the meal plan cost is simply a semesterly rate, billed once at the start of each Fall and Spring term.
