Dining

SMU offers a limited range of dining options in intersessions. For Jan Term and May Term, dining is available principally in retail locations. In June and July, dining commons as well as retail options are available.

All resident students are required by University policy to subscribe to a meal plan. Other students may choose to subscribe to meal plans or purchase Flex Dollars to be used in dining, retail, or convenience store locations on campus.
