Welcome to the Chaminade Dining Program!
A variety of dining options and locations are available on the Chaminade campus. We also offer meal plans for students residing in campus-owned housing, as well as commuting students.
Please visit the Chaminade University Dining Hub for additional information.
Meal Plans (2026–2027 Academic Year)
Meal plan options are available for all students. For students residing in Hale Lokelani, Hale Pohaku, Kieffer Hall, and the Marianist Living Learning Community, purchasing a meal plan is required as part of the housing agreement. As the Waialae Apartments all have full kitchens, students residing in this space have the option to purchase a meal plan.
If no meal plan is chosen on the housing application, those residents required to have plans will automatically be placed on the (B) Mahalo meal plan for the semester.
Debit Dollars are a set amount of declining balance funds that students may purchase and load onto their Chaminade ID card. Each time a food purchase is made in one of the campus dining locations, the cost is subtracted from the balance on the student’s account. Debit Dollars may be used in the P.O.D., Silversword Cafe, and Vicki Vending Machine (Kieffer Hall) and are available for purchase to all students, faculty, and staff.
