On-campus Plans
When signing their housing contract, on-campus students choose one of the three dining plans below (Silver, Gold or Platinum).
To select or change an on-campus dining plan, please contact the Housing Assignments Office at 517-884-5483 or liveon@msu.edu. Dining plans are non-refundable. After dining plans are activated for the semester, students may not downgrade to another dining plan (e.g., from a Gold to a Silver) due to the Spartan Cash included in two of the dining plan options.
Please visit the Live On website for a list of on-campus housing and dining rates.
