Meal Plans 1001
LSU Dining is proud to serve the LSU community! We know that students who eat balanced meals statistically do better in school, and it is our goal to provide them a variety of healthy food options.
LSU Dining Meal Plans are semester-based and designed to offer students convenience, flexibility and affordability. Residential Dining gives students the opportunity to interact with peers in a relaxed setting.
When our New Dining Hall opens, The 459 Commons in the spring semester, we will have a modern and versatile state-of-the-art facility complete with plasma TV's and new menu choices. It will be located behind East and West Laville Residence Halls on the southeast part of campus. The 459 Commons will also feature a Taco Bell and Pizza Hut which will be open until 2:00 am.
Newly enrolled students living on-campus are required to have a Meal Plan, but we encourage all first-year students to have one. There are five options to choose from! In addition, we feature the Tiger Commuter Meal Plan to off-campus and upper class students who would like to enjoy the ease of dining on campus.
Meal Plans consist of Meals and Paw Points. Meals are served in our two all-you-care-to-eat dining halls with continuous service hours from 7:00 am - 7:00 pm. Paw Points can be used at all LSU Dining locations around campus. They can be shared with family and friends, too!
Consider there are approximately 110 days in the semester including weekends or 75 weekdays. Males tend to choose a Meal Plan with more of the all-you-care-to-eat dining hall meals while females prefer more Paw Points to use for specific items at our retail locations around campus.
Students are free to use Meal Plan Meals for breakfast, lunch or dinner with no weekly usage requirements. Unused meals will not roll over to the next semester, but Paw Points will roll over from Fall to Spring if the student continues with an LSU Dining Meal Plan.
You can sign up for an LSU Dining Meal Plan at the Tiger Card Office in the LSU Student Union, Room 207 or on your PAWS account once you are registered for classes. Go to Registration Services, then Additional Services and enter the corresponding Meal Plan code. Your Meal Plan will be added to your fee bill.
