Important Notes

• The 10- and 15-Plus Plans are designed for students who want to eat meals in the traditional all-you-can-eat dining room, but also want flexibility with points. With these plans students can use their points at any time in the Tea Shop or the Founders Commons Dining Room. Points can be used at the Tea Shop for food and beverage purchases, except alcohol. 
• Each semester, students may revise their meal plan choices up to one week (seven days) after the start of classes. After this date students may buy "up" to a higher plan, but not "down" from any plan.
• Mills points, which can be used at any time in any of the campus dining facilities, can be added to any plan. Points may be purchased at the Housing Management and Dining Services Office (HMDS) using cash, check, money order, or credit card.

Meal Accommodations for Religious Observance 

Dining Services strives to design menus and meal offerings that meet the diverse needs of our students, staff, and faculty. For individuals on the meal plan whose religious observance requires a special diet during holidays, please contact Housing Management and Dining Services at dining@mills.edu so we can best accommodate your needs. It is our regular practice to label the dishes we serve so individuals can make informed choices about their selections. While we are currently unable to provide Halal meats or Kosher kitchen facilities, we aim to offer a variety of foods that might satisfy your needs as you observe your spiritual and religious practices.
