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.

Green Plan

This plan is designed for the student with a small to average appetite or who may eat off campus and at home on weekends. This student typically skips breakfast, eats a light lunch and average dinner. Students can spend an average of 537 points per day. Points can be added to this plan.

J Points: 122,600
Cost: $3,292

Gold Plan

This plan is designed for the student who eats a light breakfast and lunch, and a moderate dinner. Students can spend an average of 760 points per day. Points can be added to this plan.

J Points: 173,400

Mini Plan

This plan is only available to students who live off campus, or who reside on campus in either Creekview or The Manor. Students can spend an average of 265 points per day. Students living in these areas have access to kitchen facilities but may not wish to prepare all of their own meals. Points cannot be added to this plan.

J Points: 60,500

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.

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.

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.
