Meal Plans

Food services are available for students living in campus housing. Residents of Hale Lokelani, Hale Pohaku and Kieffer Hall are required to purchase a meal plan. This is part of the contract as a condition of residing in these halls. Since the rooms do not have kitchens, no personal cooking is allowed in residence halls for safety and sanitation reasons. Students in these residence halls may choose from these plans:
(A) Hula, (B) Mahalo or (C) Aloha. If no meal plan is chosen, students will automatically be placed on the (A) Hula meal plan for the semester.

Students living in our Waialae Avenue apartment complex may choose to sign up for any of the meal plans listed below, however, it is not required. For apartment residents who would like the flexibility and ease of having some of their meals prepared for them, Plan D has been specially designed for them.

*All Unlimited All-Access members meal plan periods consist of our conventional meal period hours as well as an additional unlimited period.

Additional Meal Plan Information:

• Unlimited meal plans are non-transferable–these meal plans may only be used by the plan holder and cannot be used for guests of the plan holder.
• The plan holder must have his or her meal card (Chaminade ID) to enter the dining facility.
• Residential unlimited meal plans expire at the end of each semester.
• Unlimited meals are intended to be eaten within the dining facility.  Anyone taking a meal “to go” may not return until the following meal period.

Commuter Student Meal Plans

Living off-campus doesn’t mean you have to hassle with shopping, cooking and cleaning after lunch. With a block meal plan, you have value, variety and convenience. It’s flexible and works right with your schedule. An off-campus student has the option to purchase a block of meals to eat at the Silversword Cafe during breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Block meal plans also come with Debit Dollars to spend at both the Courtyard P.O.D. Market and the Silversword Cafe.
