Dining Plan

OSU encourages all OSU students, faculty, staff, and guests to take advantage of the flexibility of eating at any of the 28 campus dining locations. The choice is yours!

On Campus Residence Hall Students

What's the most flexible eating plan?

For University Housing and Dining Services (UHDS) residents, the "Preferred" plan on the UHDS Dining Dollars allows the most flexibility long term. This gives you access to all 17 restaurants managed by University Housing & Dining Services in Arnold Bistro, Bing's Cafe, Marketplace West, and McNary Central.
To eat in the 11 restaurants located in the MU, Valley Library, Dixon Rec. and various academic buildings, you can use the Orange Rewards account. For residence hall residents, the $100 deposit is automatically placed on the account. The average amount spent per year is $250-300 per year.

Does my money roll over each term?

The UHDS Dining Dollars roll over until Spring Term.
For the Orange Rewards account, the balance rolls over until you graduate, withdraw, or terminate your employment from OSU.

Off Campus Students, Faculty, and Staff

For off-campus students, staff, and faculty, you join the Orange Rewards program with an initial deposit of $100 and use it at all 28 campus locations. Cash and credit/debit cards are also accepted in all campus locations.

Does my money roll over each term?

If you use the Orange Rewards account, the dollars roll over until you graduate, withdraw, or terminate your employment from OSU.
