Launch the left side menu and select “Bard Dining.”
Under “Dining Plans,” select term Fall or Spring, and then pick your plan below!
Select the “Purchase Meal Plan” button at the very bottom. Note: Purchase is a misnomer here, as all meal plans are the same price which has already been applied to your student account.

We ask that students wash dirty dishes/pans after use so we can properly clean kitchens.
