Graduate & Post-Doc Meal Plans

GRADUATE STUDENT MEAL PLANS

 

In response to COVID-19 prevent measures, dining halls will only be accessible to graduate students with an active meal plan. Dining hall access will require a valid Stanford ID. Spouses/partners of graduate students must obtain their own courtesy card from Campus Card Services and purchase a separate meal plan here. Use of a Stanford ID card by anyone other than the person the card is assigned to is prohibited. Graduate student meal plans and dining hall access will be deactivated upon graduation and refunds for unused meals can be requested at diningplans@stanford.edu.

Graduate students have several options for meal plans: 

Grad Student Meal Plan Block

 

25 MEAL
BLOCK

   
BREAKFAST $5.75/MEAL    
LUNCH $9.15/MEAL    
DINNER $11.60/MEAL    

Use them at your leisure; meal plan blocks don't expire!*

Meal plan blocks can be purchased online. Please allow two business days from the date of purchase for your meals and dining hall access to be activated. 
*Meal card accounts that are inactive for 12 months or longer, from the last date of usage, will be forfeited and closed; meal blocks are non-transferable.

While active, these voluntary grad meal blocks are fully refundable. For questions or further assistance, please email diningplans@stanford.edu.

Students begin each week of their meal plan on Sundays. Unused meals expire at the end of each week. This meal plan is billed on a quarterly basis and the cost is determined by the number of days in the service period. Please email diningplans@stanford.edu to request one of these meal plans. Meal plan prices, dates and details are subject to change without notice.

Graduate Students are invited to dine at any open dining hall. Visit our dining hall locations and hours page for more information. Both options are available for use seven days per week. Please note that all meals will be pre-packaged and for to-go only.
