Is breakfast the most important meal of the day for you, or are you the type who can only stomach coffee in the morning? Do you skip lunch every day or do you feel compelled to gorge at noon? Perhaps you're a light eater with a passion for vegetarian eating. When it comes to food, everyone has a style of their own—which is why we offer four different meal plans to meet your needs.

Can I Add Points to my Plan?

You may need to purchase additional meal points during the year, regardless of the plan you selected (except for the Mini Meal Plan). This can happen to students with particularly large appetites or students who regularly eat high-priced entrees. Please note that half of your j-points are added to your account at the beginning of each semester except for off campus meal plans which are purchased by the semester.

You can purchase points on-line at My J Points Account. You can also add points to your meal plan by contacting the Housing Cashier in person or by phone at (707) 826-5510 during the office hours of 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. or visiting any of our dining retail outlets.

You can save on J Points by drinking fountain drinks and cafeteria-prepared items rather than prepackaged foods and bottled drinks.

The Director of Dining Services, Ron Rudebock, is also available to meet with you and help you budget and plan the most economical way to use your J Points. Ron can be reached at (707) 826-3451 or via email at rlr4@humboldt.edu.

One more thing about costs...

It is not possible to design a meal plan that will fit everyone's needs. The meal plans are priced differently because they are different sizes and are designed to fulfill the distinct eating habits of a variety of students.

Each meal plan includes fixed operating costs that cover the expense for staff wages, benefits, supplies, rent, insurance, utilities, etc., plus an allocation of points for the purchase of food.
